Hi there,
I'm needing to use UTF-8 on a FreeBSD Server that is primarily configured for iRedMail.

By default, FreeBSD is not configured to use UTF-8.
Can I ask if anyone is using UTF-8 on FreeBSD with iRedMail?

Here's what I get if I run: $ locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_ALL=

I'm intending to enable UTF-8 a system-wide, by following this tutorial
https://www.b1c1l1.com/blog/2011/05/09/ … n-freebsd/

I did a quick search and found some issues with RoundcubeMail and utf-8 encodings and I'm wondering if it is safe to go on with it. Any advice on how best to go about it.

Thanks!

You need Postfix-3.0 or later release for smtp utf8 support:
