So, would that "never match" scenario be a feature or a bug?

It would be a bug if it's true. As I said, I just looked quickly at the code. I would have to verify actual behavior before drawing a final conclusion.

My opinion is that Mailman should do the Python equivalent of a "tolower" to every email address (and every regular expression) before applying the regular expressions filter....

In most cases the IGNORECASE flag is specified for the match which accomplishes the same thing. I didn't see it here, but as I said, I'm not that confident that case is not ignored.

I've had a chance to test this out and my original impression is correct. Currently if the pattern in acceptable_aliases has any upper-case only characters in it, it won't ever match.

I have submitted a bug report at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1112349&group_id=103&atid=100103 (thus the Cc: to Mailman-Developers)
