Mailman is case-preserving case-insensitive w.r.t. email addresses.

What this means is that you cannot subscribe both john.doe@email.com
and John.Doe@email.com; they are considered the same address for
memebership purposes.

However, Mailman will case-preserve the username part of the address,
so that if you subscribe John.Doe@email.com, messages will be sent to
John.Doe@email.com and not john.doe@email.com.
