I don’t think that most software even supports EAI addresses. When I built WildDuck IMAP server (https://github.com/nodemailer/wildduck ) then while I had EAI and other i18n aspects (SMTPUTF8, RFC6855 etc) planned from day one then it was really difficult

Curious, isn't it, that the MSP EAI support we've talked about here is exclusively for other people's addresses, not for their own users? I know a few Indian providers that offer EAI addresses and I think a Chinese one. It's not surprising that the US providers don't do so, since as you note

And yet Google (and Microsoft and many others) do seem to assume that if the headers are badly formatted (in various ways) it needs rejection or adds to the score tending towards classification as SPAM. The body is a different mess, indeed, and one where a more relaxed scanner seems to be used

The Gmail and Hotmail support handles other people's UTF-8 addresses in mail but they still don't provide UTF-8 addresses on their own systems. From what I can tell, Gmail and outlook.com's support is basically "just send UTF-8", that is, it will send EAI messages without the server offering the

Mail has never been clean, if you've been using such a simple easy rejection rule, you are likely a majority English provider who doesn't get much else. It used to be very common to get mail in koi8-r or koi8-u, or in iso-2022-jp or sjis, for example, or even in iso-8859-1 or others around Europe.
