This is why I prefaced my reply with "Maybe it will work for you"

With this in mind, I never had a problem with case sensitivity regarding
"testing" e-mail addresses. I always listed them in lowercase in the access
file while exchange could reference SCowles at MyDomain.com. But then I was
never submitting the inbound e-mail to procmail for local delivery. 

Long pause...

I just tested delivery to a local mailbox account on my postfix server. I
use this local account to feed/train Spamassassin bayes databse. I used both
upper and lower case. i.e. spam at mydomain.com and Spam at MyDomain.com. Both got
delivered to the same mailbox. Give it a try at your end.
