Vivek is right. Here's the relevant references : RFC 2822, sections 3.6.5, 2.2.1 RFC 2822, sections 3.4, 3.2.4, 3.2.5 RFC 2047 <-- this one shows how to put non-english text in headers Recent postifx snapshots have an option strict_7bit_headers (or something like that) to reject all such invalid email. I have now posted some exim ACL entries from Greg Ward at http://dman.ddts.net/~dman/software/exim/ to do the same thing onthe Subject: and From: headers. -D -- "640K ought to be enough for anybody" -Bill Gates, 1981 http://dman.ddts.net/~dman/
