       @linguistgoneforeign @headword Recently I tried to find a company that would host an email address with a non-ASCII domain name and a non-ASCII local part. After several attempts I gave up. The standards are there, the software supports them, but nobody cares enough to enable the support for that feature.

       @benjamingeer @linguistgoneforeign @headword Have you tried using puny-coded version of your domain and local part? That's how I got my own mail server to work with my non-ASCII domain.

       @jernej__s @linguistgoneforeign @headword Last time I checked, the standards only support Punycode for domain names, not for the local part of an email address. In the EAI standards (Email Address Internationalization), the local part can be in UTF-8, but in practice, email services don’t bother to support it (or aren’t even aware that it’s possible). https://www.afnic.fr/en/observatory-and-resources/expert-papers/hosting-a-domain-name-with-compound-characters/ Maybe @bortzmeyer knows if there’s been any progress on this recently?

       @benjamingeer @jernej__s @linguistgoneforeign @headword I did not follow it closely but as far as I know, EAI is mostly deployed in the Far East and not in typical free software servers (not to mention the clients).
