On my server (maybe all servers) the mail() function fails silently if the email address contains uppercase characters. This is despite the fact that RFC 2822 doesn't make any case requirements.

This happens on php 5.2.0 and 4.4.6

The attached patch adds at strtolower for the to and from email addresses.

Wow, why does Cervisia make such ugly patches.

This one is much cleaner.

Patch reroll.
Please check first, whether the problem still exists...

Tested this on my system. Uppercase registration emails work without the patch. Has anybody else reported this problem?

Probably mail server related, needs more info.

Since the issue could not be reproduced we should close. If someone else runs into this problem they can re-open giving more details.
