I entirely agree, which is why, even when you set allow_utf8_domains, Exim does NOT convert the domain to IDN. All that option does is to permit domain names to contain UTF-8 characters. Period. No messing about with funny encodings. There are certainly others in the world who think that this is the way to go. See, for example: http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/idn.html and the domain pi.cr.yp.to, where "pi" is actually a Greek lower case letter pi, in UTF-8. However, it seems that the trainwreckers are winning at the moment. -- Philip Hazel University of Cambridge Computing Service Get the Exim 4 book: http://www.uit.co.uk/exim-book -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
