[UA-discuss] EAI Implementation Issue

Tue Nov 8 00:57:45 UTC 2016

Hi all,

I got postfix 3.0.4 running with SMTPUTF8 correctly some time back, using Docker.  You can see my recipes here:

	https://gist.github.com/codebje/3652d6c2118ba7b0f38a39e1ac39a56d <https://gist.github.com/codebje/3652d6c2118ba7b0f38a39e1ac39a56d>

However, while postfix provides mail transport services, it does not provide access for mail user agents to retrieve mail.  Thus far I’ve been unable to find a suitable combination of mail delivery agent and IMAP service which can let users read and respond to EAI, though I have not done any work on this since April.  At the time, The Horde webmail service was looking promising, but IIRC required an IMAP service available.

None of Dovecot, courier-imap, or Cyrus IMAP have support, neither via LMTP to deliver mail, nor via IMAP/POP3 to retrieve mail.  Additionally, none of their roadmaps mention EAI, UTF8, or internationalization in general.

A potential task for the group is to update the Wikipedia list of mail servers to add an EAI support column:
