[lug] Email/User issue

[Justin]

I have an odd one here and didn't really know how to set the subject. I 
recently added a user to my box that wanted a capital first letter for 
their login name (ie: 'User' as opposed to 'user'). Well everything 
works, except the user cannot recieve email. The user can send email 
fine just not recieve it. My mail server returns the mail as 
undeliverable. I looked in /var/spool/mail/ and no file is being 
created for this user, I would expect the file /var/spool/mail/User to 
be there. I even tried manually creating /var/spool/mail/User but no 
dice. Now I went and created the same username but with no capital 
first letter (ie: just 'user' and not 'User'). This account works just 
fine, once you send an email to it the file /var/spool/mail/user is 
created and the user recieves email with no problems. I made another 
test user with a capital first letter for more testing and got the same 
results as I stated above. Any idea why this is happening? Maybe I 
don't know enough about how mail systems work or something? I am 
running Postfix version 20000608 and my tests were done thru the Pine 
mailer program.
