Are you sure of that ? In that RFC, I quote : "
If a server SMTP does not support the 8-bit MIME transport extension
(either by not responding with code 250 to the EHLO command, or by not
including the EHLO keyword value 8BITMIME in its response), then the
client must not, under any circumstances, attempt to transfer a content
which contains characters outside the US-ASCII octet range"

So my understanding of that is that you have to send a 250 response with
8bitmime to show your 8-bit full support.

Am I wrong ? (it could me a misunderstanding as far as english is not my
motherlanguage)

I know that. But I cannot send mail to each administrator of the domains
that I wish to send messages to :)

Thank for your help.
