This is an interesting question. I assume it is still marked
experimental for a reason - Aki?

Many people use postfix + lmtp. 

postfix has the default for "smtputf8_enable" (i.e. RFC 6531) set to
"yes" for quite some time.

For things to run "smoothly", this likley requires LMTP with utf8
support as well.

The options seem to be:

   * activate the experimental feature or 
   * live with whatever happens with postfix on and lmtp off or 
   * disable smtputf8 in postfix.

Aki and others - what do you recommend?

thanks for bringing this up Andy.
