Sendmail certainly does this, and I'm pretty sure postfix does > too. Not sure about any of the others. Exim by default is configured to not advertise 8BITMIME and to reject offered 8 bit messages. It doesn't try to transcode. And since it doesn't, it can't accept 8 bit messages for relay since it would have to do the conversion if the relay target doesn't accept 8 bit. If that's an issue in a given installation, then Exim is the wrong MTA choice. Exim is unlikely to be taught to do the conversions. --John _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org
