Like most e-mail systems, we treat an address with upper case letters in exactly the same way as the same address with lower case letters. To reflect this, we only store lower-case versions of all addresses, including the alias part. If your alias is, for example, SomeAlias.someuser@safersignup.com, it will be shown as somealias.someuser@safersignup.com in your list of aliases. But e-mail that is addressed to SOMEALIAS.someuser@safersignup.com, SomeAlias.somEuSER@safersignup.com, or any other combination of upper case and lower case letters will still be processed correctly.
