<p class="MsoNormal">As I understand it, email administrators have freedom to set up their own policies as to mailbox names, filters, etc. Even if an email address is syntactically correct, it doesn’t mean it cannot be rejected by system policy. If a particular
service is rejecting email addresses just because they are using letters of other alphabets that might be a problem UASG would want to take part of. In the case of symbols (e.g. emojis) used in the mailbox name, what would be UASG angle here?<o:p></o:p></p>

My idea of sharing is that Google and office365 receives email successfully from email address where mailbox contains emoji, outlook deals it just like normal email and gmail shows it dangerous. <o:p></o:p></p>

The sender’s email address uses abnormal characters, which might be used to spoof real addresses. Avoid clicking links, downloading attachments, or replying to this message.<br>
