Subject: Duplicate alias names are not detected/reported.

Given the following input: able.baker: foo@big-u.edu able.baker: bar@small-u.edu the last entry wins without any warnings. A duplicate alias name in the input is probably an error. Given the following input: Able.Baker: foo@big-u.edu able.baker: bar@small-u.edu Both alias are kept even though this is also most likely a duplicate. There should at least be an option to ignore case in the local part. "An email address such as John.Smith@example.com is made up of a local part, an @ symbol, then a domain part. The domain part is case-insensitive but the local part is (in theory) case-sensitive. In practice, the mail system at example.com may (and most mail systems will) treat John.Smith as equivalent to john.smith or even johnsmith.[1]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address ...BC -- =====================================[ Bill.Costa@unh.edu ]== Bill Costa 1 Leavitt Lane UNH IT -- 1st Floor University of New Hampshire Durham, NH 03824 USA Voice: +1-603-862-3056 No good deed...
