Just looking briefly at the code - MailList.HasExplicitDest() - it
looks like the addresses from the header are all lowercased prior to
matching against the list address and acceptable_aliases. Thus I would
expect if the alias is all lower case, any combination of case in the
To: or Cc: of the message would match, but if the alias is mixed or
upper case, it would never match.
