"Illegal" isn't the right term. But anyway, in the message headers of those messages there's probably a line like:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii You could get some third-party tool that would filter on that header and block the "charsets" you don't want to support, or only allow the ones you do support. I suspect you might block some legitimate messages, though. http://www.slipstick.com might have some references for such filtering products. http://www.nemx.com might do this as well. It sure does a lot more!

Illegal being not in the alpha bet a-z , is there a rule one can set on the server or does this has to be on the client application: My users are receiving mails from places with different char i.e. Korea and when the client receives them it halts because it tries to load the correct windows langue setting for it. The e-mail addresses usually have weird char in them. Can some one point me in the correct direction?
