My configuration is - Exim as a front-end (filtering) server for incoming e-mail and Lotus Domino as a back-end. Both don't support 8BITMIME. And I haven't any problems with 8-bit bodies - Exim just passes them to back-end an then they are delivered to users in correct/readable format. The only problem is that such e-mail is usually spam :-) Well I've found another interesting thing (sorry for offtopic again :-). RFC2045 defines a term "preamble". Usually it looks like a phrase "This is a multipart message..." in raw message and MIME-compatible software should just ignore it. According to RFC2045 and RFC2822 (as I understand them properly) preamble MUST consist of US-ASCII characters. But I see many 8-bit preambles in *ham* e-mail. I think this is because of badly localized software at sending side. So *be careful* if you want to score 8-bit characters - you can get some false positives! Thanks again to all. Vitas.
