IIS 6.0 UTF8 support for local email robért@domain.com 2 hours, 38 minutes ago|LINK

Is there anyway for IIS 6.0 to handle the local part of the email with UTF-8 Characters - robért@domain.com

I have the correct code.

mMailMessage.To.Add(New MailAddress(recepient, recepient, Encoding.UTF8))


'Instantiate a new instance of SmtpClient
    Dim mSmtpClient As New SmtpClient()
    mSmtpClient.DeliveryFormat = SmtpDeliveryFormat.International
    ' Send the mail message
    mSmtpClient.Send(mMailMessage)

I have tested with a really great developer tool called PaperCut which was adjusted to accept UTF-8 local part of email. - https://github.com/ChangemakerStudios/Papercut (Be sure to use the development branch).

Moojjoo

    IIS 6.0 is far past end of life and it should have been decommissioned years ago. It is unlikely you will ever have a solution for this, other than to upgrade to something which is currently under support. – Michael Hampton Feb 07 '17 at 19:48
  • Believe it or not IIS6.0 is still used with Windows Server 2016 and is the SMTP server of IIS http://www.virtualizationhowto.com/2016/01/add-smtp-windows-server-2016/ I have posted here and IIS.net. I do not think this is possible, gmail, yahoo and outlook online free email services do not allow for UTF-8 characters --- é – Moojjoo Feb 08 '17 at 20:30
  • OK, that's rather frightening. If it were me, I would go look for some other SMTP server. – Michael Hampton Feb 08 '17 at 20:35
  • LOL, I ask Scott Hanselman about it. Maybe I will get an answer. This is the Hunt for the Red October. – Moojjoo Feb 08 '17 at 20:38
