Zitat von Freek Dijkstra <pub...@macfreek.nl>:
Hi all,
Postfix does not support international email addresses, such as
josé@example.org, as described by RFC 6530-6532. To be precise, the
SMPTUTF8 (previously: UTF8SMTP) SMTP extension is not announced in the
EHLO response.
Wikipedia [1] says it is "under development", but given the response
to
the topic "Question about supporting EAI in postfix" about a year ago
[2] I get the impression it is not.
Would anybody be aware of external contributions to Postfix for this
feature? I have not found anything on the web.
Regards,
Freek

IMHO The e-Mail address is just a "routeable" name. For your real name
in whatever charset you should use the real name in the header
section.

My opinion (slightly off topic but very relevant) having read the thread
carefully:
It is obvious that the English speaking world does not want to abandon
ASCII. For their own reasons.
If you want an RFC (or any project for that matter) to fail then create
an impossible situation
ie no path from the existing status-quo to the new system. The arguments
put forward, by some, are exactly
the same for IPv6. But then the path from IPv4 to IPv6 is well charted
out and understood. Software
have been built long ago when nobody was using IPv6. Incompatibilities
corrected and applications and or
drivers created for several generation now. Still IPv6 is not that
common.
Come to think of it, why don't we go back to using inches, yards, miles
and pounds?
It was, and still is, quite painful converting to SI.
Andreas
