5 UTF-8 Mail Demonstration at IETF
- Presenters : Kazunori Fujiwara (JPRS), Jaeyoun Kim (NIDA), Derek Williams (Afilias)
- Date/Time: July 28, 2008 / 18:45 - 19:15
5.1 1. Scenario A (Two i18mail users)
One i18mail user (A) sends a message to another i18mail user (B), and desires to use his i18n-address. The recipient replies to the message.
A : NON-ASCII-local@DOMAIN1 B : NON-ASCII-local@DOMAIN2
<Examples> ------------------------- A : テスト@日本語.dnslab.jp B : 테스트@테스트.kr ------------------------- A : 테스트@테스트.kr B : 中文測試@中文.twnic.tw ------------------------- A : 中文測試@中文.twnic.tw B : テスト@日本語.dnslab.jp ------------------------- A : 测试@环球电邮.info B : 테스트@테스트.kr
Requirement: The message must arrive at the recipient. The reply must arrive at the sender. The email addresses visible to the sender and recipient must be the i18n-addresses.
- A sends a message to B
- B checks if there is a message from A
- B replies back to A
- A checks if there is a reply from B
5.2 2. Scenario B (One i18mail user sends to one ascii user)
A, an i18mail user, sends to X, an ascii user. X replies.
A : NON-ASCII-local@DOMAIN1 (ASCII-local@DOMAIN1) X : ASCII-local@DOMAIN2
<Examples> A : テスト@日本語.dnslab.jp (test@eai.dnslab.jp) X : utf8smtp@gmail.com ------------------------ A : 테스트@테스트.kr (test@mail.cslab.kr) X : utf8smtp@gmail.com ------------------------ A : 中文測試@中文.twnic.tw (abelyang@twnic.net.tw) X : utf8smtp@gmail.com ------------------------ A : 测试@环球电邮.info (test@global-email.info) X : utf8smtp@gmail.com ------------------------ A : 测试@邮件.postfix.asrc.cn (test@m1.postfix.asrc.cn) X : utf8smtp@gmail.com
Precondition: A has to have an ascii address.
- A sends a message to X
- X checks if there is a message from A
- Checks if the message is downgraded (SMTP downgrading & Header fields downgrading)
- X replies back to A
- A checks if there is a reply from X
