Is your list also moderated?  If so, looking at the resend code, the 
same address should be listed
in the restrict_post as the value of moderator.

Have you applied any of the contributed patches?  I see a couple places 
in the code where tr is
used when lc might make sense, but honestly, in all the years I have 
been a majordomo user, I
have never seen this problem.  In fact, I just tried it.  Using redhat 
8.0 as the OS, sendmail 8.12.8,
and majordomo 1.94.5 (with several contributed patches applied), I sent 
mail to a test list where
I am listed in lower case, and restrict_post is set to the name of the 
list, but I set my mail client to
send my address in upper case.  No problem.  All members of the list 
received the message, as
did my own lower case version of my address.

Next test, I will set "basic" list aliases, and run from the unmodified 
scripts.

Hmmm, that worked too.  Additionally, my moderate=no and moderator = 
<blank>, and I sent
the messages to my list in plain text.

Next test, I will send the message using rich content.  Sorry, that 
worked too.
