Hi,

I was stupid enough to forget to turn all the letters in the usernames on my email server to lower case when a new user is added.

I now have several hundred customers with a mixture of letters (/home/mail/domain.com/FirstName/) for their maildir.

I am writing a script to copy emails from amavisds quarantine folder to the users Junk folder. However since the addresses I grep from the spam are in different cases then the folder I cant figure out a good way to solve this.

My script is bash based so I have three arrays, one containing the domain, one containing the user and one containing the spam file name. There are no duplicates (FirstName/firstname) when it comes to the folder. Can I get mv to ignore case so that I can do the following "mv spam-1231424534 /home/mail/domain./firstname/.Junk/new" even though the path is actually /home/mail/domain./FirstName/.Junk/new


Thanks!

Fredrik

Maybe like this:
But better to fix the problem at the source (eg convert to lowercase before make the directories)

What if you have a user FirstName and a user firstname?

By the RFCs, SUS, etc., it is quite distinct to have two emails that are only different in case. That being said, modern implementations ignore that.

My best bet would be something like:

Thanks that worked perfectly!

I should never had a user called firstname if there is one already called FirstName. I have set my add form which adds the users to my mysql database to make them all lowercase from now one. It was only at first when I was migrating existing customers over where I copied and pasted a big batch from a list I had been provided with.

Thanks!
