How will I force incoming mails to lowercase mailbox?
Hi, First, you should put 'lmtp_downcase_rcpt: yes' into /etc/imapd.conf. This will do the job for mail delivered to cyrus-imapd. Then, people may possibly still be able to access their mailbox with uppercase usernames if you are using ldap with pam for example. If that's the case the mailbox will be created with upper case on the fly. To prevent from that, I have made a pam module to deny upper case usernames, look here http://freshmeat.net/projects/pam_deny_uc/ To use it, I have put this into the relevant pam config files: auth requisite /lib/security/pam_deny_uc.so Let me know how it goes.
