sendmail returns this error when it cannot properly identify the user that
the mail message is being directed to. In this case, the user exists on the
system, but the user's id has uppercase letters in it. sendmail will not
correctly understand uppercase letters in the userid or the systemname of
mail messages being sent unless configured to do so.
To tell sendmail to handle uppercase charactors in a mail address, edit
the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file. Look for the line:
Mlocal, P=/bin/rmail, F=DFMPlms, .......
and change it to read
Mlocal, P=/bin/rmail, F=DFMPlmsu, .......
The "u" flag set in the F parameter will tell sendmail to handle uppercase
charactors like it does lowercase charactors.
After the change is made to the sendmail.cf file, it's a good idea to stop
and restart the sendmail daemon with the commands:
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

Re: sendmail and uppercase usernames
Thanks Alex:
Running OK.
F= parameter is configured on 11.00 as:
F=lsDFMAw5:/|@m,
I have added 'u':
F=lsDFMAw5u:/|@m,
Best regards.
