Hello,

We have a customers who sends batches of email to internation people with CFMAIL. So there are international characters involved in the emailadresses, like:

willem.solböck@company.com
frédéric.salterr@company.com
jean-françois.boquet@company.com

These emails are ending up in the undelivrable folder of Coldfusion. It this because those charcaters are invalid or is it a setting in Coldfusion to send emails with this kind of internation characters.

Thank you in advance.

    I tried to send an e-mail to my e-mail account with my original name and I got the mail.

    Here is my code:
    *****************************************************************
    <cfmail
    to="oğuz@mydomain.net"
    from="oguz@mydomain.net"
    subject="Test ğĞüÜıİşŞöÖçÇ"
    >
    Test ğĞüÜşŞiİıIöÖçÇ
    </cfmail>

    *****************************************************************



    And the mail header:

    *****************************************************************
    Return-Path: <oguz@mydomain.net>

    Hello Oguz,

    So it does work for you? Do send the email with CFMAIL or with another java component?

    If it is in the undeliverable folder, there is a line in mail.log that
    explains why. What does it say?

    Hello,

    I believe this is the line of an email sent to stéphanie.rentz@justacompany.com

    "Error","scheduler-4","04/03/08","15:34:42",,"Invalid Addresses; nested exception is: class javax.mail.SendFailedException: 501 5.5.4 Invalid Address "

    I don't think the following is happening: willem.solb�ck@company.com, there is no proof of this.
    It just when sending to German or French customers, a lot of international characters are used in the names and I'm not sure if this is allowed.

    Just another question:
    Is it so that when you want to send an email to willem.solböck@company.com, that you have to send it to willem.solbock@company.com??

    if this is exactly what happens to them then it looks like a simple encoding issue.

    what ver of cf? what encoding is your data? forget to add the charset option to
    your cfmail tag?
