I am running Sendmail v5.61 and have come up against a weird problem.

Mail sent to local users with lower case names (eg chris) gets through ok

Mail sent to local users with upper case names (eg CHRIS) gets through ok

Mail send to local users with mixed case names (eg ChrisA) is thrown
out with an "Unknown username" message, whether or not the user
actually exists.

I would suspect that this is a sendmail.cf problem, but cannot for the 
life of me work out what is worng. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

The system is a DG Aviion running DGUX 

Sendmail has this problem whatever mailer it is called from or even if
it is run directly. Typing sendmail ChrisA results in a
"ChrisA... User unknown" message.

Thanks in advance.

chris allen.
