You're asking for trouble.

Yes, you can do this. Try picking up "procmail" as your local delivery
agent (Mlocal), be sure to get v3.11pre3.
Now, make sure that the mailerflags on Mlocal include 'u' (preserve
case in usernames).
P.S. You're stretching the charter of this mailinglist, I think. This
hardly is about network programming and the Linux kernel, or is it?
