Greetings!

	I am running ix/386 v.2.0.2, and I have a couple of uucp
neighbours which have UPPERCASE characters in their machine names.  This
causes a problem with sendmail because on a "mail user@SITE.uucp", it
turns the name into "site" and then complains that "site" is unknown. 

	I thought of making the entry for "SITE" be "site" in my Systems
file, but then the problem shifts: HDB uucp will not recognize "SITE" as
"site" when it logs into my machine.

	Before I start thinking of big ugly patches, could someone suggest
a way of telling HDB that SITE and site and functionally equivalent machines?
(I don't have the full documentation for the "Permissions" file)  

	If not, are there any other ways of fixing this?

	Thanks in advance...

PS. Changing the remote machine names is not really an alternative at this
    point (yes, I know about RFC822).
