I’m sorry, but I’m a bit puzzled by your answer.
What is the relation between RFC 6531 and the DNS? I’m clearly no
expert, but I thought that RFC only specified an SMTP extension. How
are DNS servers concerned by that?
Anyway, Postfix already implemented SMTPUTF8. Having Dovecot do as well
would allow for mail-stack that rely on both Postfix and Dovecot to
send e-mail using addresses containing non-ASCII characters. That would
be a big progress for people who wish to use internationalized e-mail
addresses.
And the last time I asked questions about it here, people said to me it
was being worked on. Hence my question.
