Is there any way of making courier look for the mail recipient case insensitively? There seems to be a bunch of software that insists on converting email addresses to upper case. And some people too like to capitalize firstname.lastname@domain -style emails.

Just create the (empty) file "locallowercase" in the courier 'etc' directory (/etc/courier for rpms, /usr/lib/courier/etc for source builds.)

It's documented in the courier man page; search for "locallowercase". The one issue for you as the administrator is that all mail accounts on your server MUST be all in lowercase. So no matter how people may format their account name, on your server that account must be "firstname.lastname" and not "Firstname.Lastname", etc.
