understood, but if it is just one server there may be enough log entries for folks to collaborate to find it - and make appropriate entries and engage blackberry about it. i have also seen comments that say those characters are not against the rfc and other comments that say they are. if they are not, then qmail should not choke on them. if they are, blackberry should be engaged.

If you look at the wiki, you'll see where I did a MX lookup on their domain and started to name each server to allow the characters - this particular one was NOT listed in the MX records - it seems to be a "stealth" server. It may appear in the SPF records, but by that time a client was literally screaming at me on the phone, so I just fixed it with a broad stroke, albeit a blunt one. I did some testing afterwards to see if I should go back and make it look pretty (ie: do it the right way), but found no need myself.
