Is there a way to add SMTPUTF8 (both: send and recieve) support to EFA SMTP server?
EmailSendService.SendMail(): mail not sent to 'ayça.ozdem@domain.com' [System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: The client or server is only configured for E-mail addresses with ASCII local-parts: ayça.ozdem@domain.com.

Is it enough to enable?
smtputf8_enable = from no to yes ?

and reload postfix?

because I see it in the comments that "requires EAI support compiled in", what is that?

# SMTP UTF8 support (requires EAI support compiled in)
smtputf8_enable = no

It may have been disabled in EFA for a reason.

More information about this setting here: http://www.postfix.org/SMTPUTF8_README.html

Thanks for the reply.
I have already read that article before posting here.
There is where I have discovered what it needs to be changed in main.cf.
What would be the reason that EFA installation puts that option to disabled? Any particular?

Thanks, with best regards.

EAI will not compile properly on CentOS 6x if I recall correctly. Postfix does not have EAI support compiled in for that reason.
