I do not believe the current dbmail db scheme fully supports UTF-8 natively which is what is needed for IDN.

For mysql, upon connection, you must set the character set/name to UTF-8. Otherwise, sending in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] login for verification is comparing to non-utf-8 charset. The alias and user db rows must also be in utf-8 format which is not so a simple change in dbmail connection is also not possible.

For everything to work, qmail must support UTF-8 in the SMTP transaction layer (RCPT TO:...etc), dbmail must do the same when handling data from qmail, and then the db backend must be prepared.

Hello,

I am trying to configure qmail+dbmail2.0.4 to work with IDN(like åäöüé.se), which i guess is supported by dbmail.

`dbmail-users -a [EMAIL PROTECTED] -w theape` says:

[quote]
Opening connection to database...
Opening connection to authentication...
Ok. Connected
Error: invalid characters in username [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Command failed.

Am I doing something wrong?
