No, that's exactly what I want! Some MUAs like Thunderbird doesn't seem to
convert the domain and in that case I would like Exim to do the work
instead.
When I tried to send a mail (with telnet) I got the error:
501-<teståäö.se>: domain missing or malformed.
How do I determine the encoding?
I could give any of you access to a domain with åäö for test purpose,
they are
registered for free in Sweden this year out :)
