Might be better to use an attribute name which indicates to
the user how this differs from the standard 'mail' attribute.

Also remember that you might someday import someone else's
schema which has also used such a generic name.  Therefore
a common practice is to prepend an acronym for your project
or organization to the names of your schema elements.

OpenLDAP won't do that.  You'll have to implement it either
on the client side or in an overlay.  You can use overlay
"constraint" to reject values with uppercase.

"constraint" or a private overlay again.  Beware that this
is extremely hairy to do with a regular expression, which is
what "constraint" supports.
Google(validate e-mail address regexp).
