Matus UHLAR - fantomas:
so, with this option postfix tries to deliver 8-bit message without
converting, hoping that the server will accept it without problems?
just to understand it correctly

That is how qmail and Exim work all the time.

I know that qmail has this behaviour (doesn't care), but that is 24-years unmaintained package. I know nearly nothing about exim.

however, I understand your answer as yes, I was just unsure about it so I better asked.

They do not implement the MIME related RFCs that require 8-to-7
conversion or returning mail as undeliverable.

so they don't recode/process mime which may and may not work (e.g. if they pass message to something that can't process 8bit)

...which is apparently answer to my previous question
