After reading this email i was under the impression that Postfix wont
deal with UTF8 email addresses and made the test to check it out.
Test was made with Postfix Version: 2.9.3-2~12.04.4 ( default config
included in Ubuntu server 12.04)

220 lab10.anubis.via ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu)
HELO lab16
250 lab10
MAIL FROM: <>
250 2.1.0 Ok
RCPT TO: <josé@lab10>
250 2.1.5 Ok
DATA
354 End data with <CR><LF>.<CR><LF>
Subject: teste 123

Helooo!
.
250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as EA666700677
QUIT
221 2.0.0 Bye

Is this the expected behaviour ? shouldn't the local part ( josé ) be
forbidden ? Is there a way sanitize the address ?
