solved: exim4: local parts case sensitive

[listrcv <listrcv@condor-werke.com>]

Hi,

cyrus considers usernames as case sensitive by default. There's a 
setting for that in /etc/imapd.conf:


# Forcing recipient user to lowercase
# Cyrus 2.2 is case-sensitive.  If all your mail users are in lowercase, 
it is
# probably a very good idea to set lmtp_downcase_rcpt to true.  The 
default is
# to assume the user knows what he is doing, and not downcase anything.
lmtp_downcase_rcpt: yes
