Yes, sendmail always uses case insensitive string matching.

For users from /etc/passwd:

	FX/etc/passwd %[^:]

For UUCP host names from L.sys:

	FX/usr/lib/uucp/L.sys %[^:]

This won't be able to handle continuation lines or comments, though,
so a better way is to use something like the IDA Kit's ability to call
programs for class definitions:

	FX|uuname

That is not a legal RFC822 address, please consider using something
like "user%machine1@machine2.dom" instead.

This means the mailer was invoked without a "user" part.  The
invokation of a mailer in sendmail.cf is done using a triple, as in:

	$# mailer $@ host $: user

The meaning of this is to invoke the mailer (Mmailer) with the address
"user" and send that to the host "host".  The "host" part is sometimes
optional, but "user" never is.

Hope this helps,
