Whilst some country endonyms appear to work (Deutchland, Hrvatska, Suomi), non-latin endonyms (日本,Россия) fail, some even when romanised. This isn't an easy thing to solve when many countries have multiple de facto or de jure languages.

Until you live at an address not in most people's postcode database. If you're lucky, you get to enter your address in manually. If you're unlucky, you're up for a phone call or total rejection - a few times I've had to collect parcels from

I don't get why the author explicitly mentions RFC 5424, then mentions: ...message packets are limited to 1024 bytes linking to the older, RFC 3164 and not to RFC 5424[1] which states: There is no upper limit per se. Each transport mapp
