Question about SMTPUTF8

[mnmallea]

Hi,
I'm trying to receive emails that contains UTF8 characters in their From or To addresses like eñ[email protected].
I saw that subetha doesn't advertise to support SMTPUF8 so I am assuming that it doesn't support it at least by default.
Is there a way to enable its support? Does it depends on how we parse the data input stream or does it depend on the sever itself?

thanks for the question. I'll have to get my head around that as an SMTP extension first. I've noticed that some SMTP servers support utf-8 characters in From, To addresses by default and others require the support to be turned on by a command. I tend towards the first. Do you have an opinion on that?

I also tend to the first option. I think that if the client receives SMTPUTF8 in the EHLOresponse then it will just send the addresses with utf8 encoding.

I just modified a unit test to use a To with eñe and the message handler did not call the recipient method with that value. This suggests that we don't support general UTF-8 in addresses. I'll have a look soon.

I've knocked up always-on support for SMTPUTF8. I wonder if should be configurable. Can you review the PR?

Release 7.1.1 with SMTPUTF8 support, on Maven Central now. Let me know how it goes!
