sendmail to uppercase usernames

Question:

I cannot mail to users with uppercase names. It returns with
and error of user unknown:

USER@system... User unknown: No such file or directory
Saving message in //dead.letter
//dead.letter... Can't create output

Response:

In the /etc/sendmail.cf file, you need to go to the following
line:

Mlocal, P=/bin/bellmail, F=lsDFMmn, S=10, R=20, A=mail -F $g $u
                         ³
                         ÀÄÄyou need to include a 'u' in this field.

Example: 

Mlocal, P=/bin/bellmail, F=lsDFMumn, S=10, R=20, A=mail -F $g $u
                                ³                                       
                                ³
                                ÀÄÄ This will allow the uppercase
                                    letters in the usernames to be
                                    acknowledged.

Once this is added you will need to recompile the sendmail.cf file.
\#sendmail -bz
Then refresh the sendmail daemon.
\#refresh -s sendmail
