Not a bug John.  Working perfectly correct according to the RFCs which
state that case is significant in the user portion of the address.
Lsoft is one of the few internet companies that treat the RFCs as
standards instead of suggestions,  and I admire them for this.

However Lsoft has finally bowed to usage and if you add the line:

     * Misc-Options= IGNORE_EMAIL_CASE

to your list's header it will treat User and user as the same.  If you
are the listserv maintainer, there is a corresponding option to add to
the site config that makes it the default for all lists on that server.

I am not sure if this option was in the base 15.0 release or was added
by later maintenence.
