Right (and RFC 3490 exists precisely for that reason), but Postfix
*could* add some IDN support. Advices welcome:

* Allowing Unicode domain names in main.cf
(mydestination=académie-française.fr). Open issue: how to find the
encoding of main.cf? Forcing UTF-8?

* Trying to implement RFC 3490 in bounce messages generated by Postfix
(currently, they show the ACE, ASCII-Compatible Encoding, like
xn--acadmie-franaise-npb1a.fr). Open issue: what encoding for the
bounce message?
