You should really think about why these chars were excluded in the configuration: The reason is that those they are special in shells. And many SMTP deployments have pretty naive (shell) scripts or software with shell exits. So allowing those chars can cause more or less big security risks. For this reason it's likely that you will end in spam filters / black lists etc. because systems may assume you want to do some harm. So I would really rethink the requirements. Your mileage may vary. But you have been warned. Ciao, Michael. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
