the -u switch on the pipe command for whatever delivery transport you
are using as specified in master.cf for postfix.

from man pipe:

 u      Fold  the command-line $recipient address localpart (text
        to the left of the right-most @ character) to lower case.
        This is recommended for delivery via UUCP.

That's *a* way, no doubt there is a better one.
