UTF-8 addresses not supported on Office365

Technical assistance
1

Infos:

Zammad set an office365 channel to error because of an Email containing umlauts.
I understand that this issue ist actually not Zammad related but maybe someone has an idea what I might be missing here.

The SMTP Error is coming, if I’m not mistaken, from office365

but from what I’m seeing, office365 should accept UTF8

what am I missing here?

  • Used Zammad version: 5.3.1-6
  • Used Zammad installation type: docker-compose
  • Operating system: debian 11
  • Browser + version: not relevant

Expected behavior:

  • Email should be accepted by office365

Actual behavior:

  • Net::SMTPSyntaxError: 501 5.1.8 UTF-8 addresses not supported

UTF8 is of course supported for the body of mails, but that doesn’t mean e-mail addresses with UTF8 are supprted. Don’t use umlaut in e-mail addresses. Just don’t

Zammad should encode and decocde UTF8 aliases since I believe Zammad 5.3 cleanly. If not this might be an issue. Possibly depends on how you try to send that mail.
