I'm trying to figure out why email addresses are case sensitive. Because when something is capitalized (ie. bl@blah.com to Bl@blah.com) maildrop complains "Invalid User Specified". Obviously, blah-com-blah is the real user account in my /etc/userdb. Everything is working fine except for the capital letters.

You could try using "tr" somewhere in your delivery chain. For example, if you use .qmail-* files you could put something like this in your user's .qmail file:

| maildrop /home/vpopmail/domains/`echo $HOST | tr [A-Z] [a-z]`/`echo $EXT | tr [A-Z] [a-z]`/Maildir/mailfilter
