Usually It's the job of the mail client to form the address correctly,
and SMTP is ASCII, so the domain part should be already IDN'd

But yeah, if you need to pull addresses out of message bodies or
somethig like that embedded perl might be the way to go, or do it in C
and add a new function to exims string expansion code, it's all tidy
and well laid out.

I hear that there's experimental support for SMTP using UTF8, if I
hear correctly it'd just be a matter of exposing some already
existing exim functionality as a string expansion.
