Hello Don and John If I understand correctly, just like this mailing list ua-eai@icann.org, it must be able to hold every kind of valid email address and successfully deliver email to all subscribers. That's our expectation. This functionality we have in xgenplus and we have been successfully running it since many years. For an example mailing eaiteam@xgenplus.com will also have EAI addresses and anyone from mailing lists sends an email to this list, it will be delivered to everyone from this list. Naturally, email delivery responsibility is from xgenplus mailing list to each individual email addresses in list everytime the email is sent, and it successfully delivers.

G’day all
In another world I heard there’s a major new release of mailman
Hi, Don. The current version is 3.3.11. From version 2 to 3 was a compete rewrite, since then small incremental changes.
Does this support EAI?
Mailman has done a good job of internationalizing the messages and web pages, but I have no seen any work on allowing EAI subscribers.
And honestly, I have no idea what it would mean for a list manager to support EAI in a meaningful way. It wouldn't be hard to allow UTF-8 addresses in subscriptions, but then there's the other 95% of the work. I suppose you could have EAI lists where all of the subscribers have to be on systems with EAI support, and non EAI lists that don't allow any non-ASCII addresses but that doesn't seem very useful.
In the forseeable future we are going to have a mix of people on EAI and non-EAI mail systems, and on EAI mail systems some have ASCII addresses and some UTF-8 addresses. I have no idea how you would run a mailing list with a mix of EAI and non-EAI subscribers to exchange mail in a reasonable way and I would be surprised if anyone else did either.
EAI is still very much a work in progress.
