Arguably an advantage.
- true_religion 9y agoI suppose... until you apply for a job and can't receive a favorable response because they're one of the many Fortune 5000 companies that use Exchange/Outlook somewhere in their infrastructure.
- flai 9y agoNot every one of my email-addresses is used in a business-context.
- tyingq 9y agoIt's not just Exchange. RFC6530 support is pretty spotty. Fastmail, which is pretty popular here, only allows a-z0-9_ in usernames. I don't see a "250 SMTPUTF8" reply when I connect to their server and EHLO. So, it's likely they don't support it either.
- yladiz 9y agoI use Fastmail and have sent myself a testing email with non-ASCII emails, like with Korean or Chinese characters. So 안녕@mydomain works with Fastmail.
- tyingq 9y agoSo apparently if you host your own domain with them they do? However, they don't appear to support it for username@fastmail.com. Either for sign up, or for live delivery. http://imgur.com/a/Otf4f http://imgur.com/a/Otf4f (see both images) Try sending to 안녕@mydomain from a gmail account...it looks like they may not be supporting SMTPUTF8 correctly. Which could result in sending-to-yourself working, but not from an outside source.
