Sendmail has a UserDB feature that you can use to map names to logins. If
you really want to use 'James' as an email address, you can setup UserDB to map
James to the login 'james'.
The 'all logins should be lowercase' rule still applies here, however you
can have sendmail have a different name go in and out of the box. One good
example of this are companies that use a full name for an employee's email,
where the actual account isn't the same.
ej:
email address -> real account
-----------------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If I had this setup, I can receive email sent to that address, and when I
send email out, it'll also have that address in it, not the real account.
