That should be everything to the right is not case dependent. The "local
part" (left of the @)  is supposed to be preserved (except for the special
case of "Postmaster"), but the rest does not. LISTSERV consistently
treated these correctly -- at least since I first used it (1.8c).

See RFC-822, sec 3.4.7 (Case Independence) for a more complete discussion.
