Dan:
Are you having problems sending a particular character? If you are
reading RFCs, I'm sure you are already aware that most data today is
transmitted in some encoded format (MIME or UUENCODE). The newer ESMTP
RFCs, of course, cloud this a little bit with the introduction of 8-bit
MIME and Chunking (for Example, Exchange 2000 actually transmits binary
data between two E2K servers). However, if we stick the the original
definition of SMTP, the message consists of nothing but ASCII
characters. Below is a snip from RFC-821:
DATA (DATA)
The receiver treats the lines following the command as mail
data from the sender. This command causes the mail data
from this command to be appended to the mail data buffer.
The mail data may contain any of the 128 ASCII character
codes.
If you want a list of these characters, check out
http://www.asciitable.com/.
Did this answer anything you were looking for or am I just
rambling?
Hope this helps,
Jim McBee

All,
does anyone know where I can get a list of all valid SMTP
characters? I have checked RFC821 and there seems to be info regarding
length of username and domain name etc, but not specific character
lists.
thanks
