[UA-discuss] Experimental EAI "free trial" services under one's own domain name?

[Jim DeLaHunt]

Hello, Sudhanwa Jogalekar:

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate the offer of a free account for a 
trial.

I am not actually asking for myself. The UASG Email Address 
Internationalisation (EAI) Working Group has a goal of making it easier 
for people and organisations to experiment with using globally inclusive 
EAI email addresses. We hope that some of these experiments will turn 
into actual use. This should drive demand for universal acceptance of 
globally inclusive email addresses and domain names. Thus, any URLs I 
find which offer a "free trial" of EAI email servers might become part 
of a list we publish to encourage such experiments.

When you say, "we can give you a free account", does "we" mean 
IDNMail.net? Or are you speaking for yourself?

At IDNmail.net's website, it says, "Providing The Topmost Email Services 
for International Domain Names". This sounds quite exciting to me. I 
would love it if IDNmail.net were to attempt the EAI WG's "EAI 
Self-Certification" process, described at 
<https://uasg.tech/eai-certification>. It seems like a Gold or Platinum 
certification logo would be a good way to communicate to prospective 
customers who are looking for EAI services.

I am very glad that you brought this to the group's attention. Thank you!

Best regards,
     —Jim DeLaHunt (member of the EAI Working Group)
