Actually, you do not need to create separate aliases for uppercase and 
lowercase versions of a user.   They're automatically implied, because 
the server is not making a distinction.  It's case insensitive.

In other words, if you make an alias "johndoe" in the BlueOnyx GUI, then 
email sent to JohnDoe, johndoe, JoHnDoe or whatever other combination of 
caps and lowercase will work out.

HTH!
