Domain names seem to be only case insensitive as far as *mail* routing
is concerened. It appears that most(/all?) of the standard tcp stuff
has some case sensitivity.
I haven't the faintest idea whether there is some other RFC that makes
an explicit statment to this effect, or it's that everythign just happens
to be broken.
