The latter.

Entirely up to you and your preferences for file names on your
server.

Postfix does not dictate how you name (parent) maildir directories.

Read carefully.

The MAIL CLIENT must tranform non-ASCII domain names before
sending MAIL FROM or RCPT TO commands.

Dear all, I've just made a test from Gmail and my Thunderbird mail
client sending a mail to a non-real IDN mail user:

alejandro@años.com.ar

- My Thunderbird says: "An error ocurred while sending mail. Tha mail
servers responded: 5.1.3 Bad recipient address syntax" (THIS IS A
SERVER RESPONSE)

- The Gmail webmail says: "One o more mail address in "To:" box is not
recognized" (THIS IS A CLIENT RESPONSE)

So, I think the IDN domain name support is not complete nowadays,
neither by mail servers nor by mail clients. So it's not convenient
the IDN mail implementation in this bad situation.

What do you think about this matter ???

Really thanks

This is due to a (very old) CLIENT bug, [1]

The server is just complaining about bad CLIENT syntax.

OK, this is in case of my Thunderbird Debian lenn package, but what
about the Gmail syntax error warning ??? In Hotmail is the same, it
tells me that the recipient address just must have 1-9, a-z and @
characters....in this case with my IDN domain I wiil remain isolate of
the Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail world and it's not good !!!

Any comment ???
