Following on from recent discussions in the UA-Discuss list, I’d like to build a Good Practice Guide for Mailbox Administrators so these administrators can see some of the issues that they should consider.   Topics might include:


  *   Transformation of mailbox name from non-ascii to an ascii alias when encountering a non-EAI ready MTA
  *   How to display IDNs
  *   How to display non-ASCII mailbox names
  *   How to address fuzzy matching when receiving non-exact match emails
  *   How to manage case folding
  *   How to manage variants in mailbox names.   Are korero@ and kōrero@ going to the same mailbox?
  *   Do you allow mixing of scripts in mailbox names?   If yes, sometimes, what are the criteria.
  *   And more

Your suggestions are most welcome.

Making a start:

* How to handle illegal sequences in complex scripts?

* How to handle non-standard sequences in complex scripts?
