I'm curious - are non-ascii characters allowed in sendmail configuration files? I would assume not since email headers and SMTP commands require ASCII (not to mention that GNU m4 can be a little temperamental with non-ascii content) but I wasn't sure if there were exceptions.
I didn't see this mentioned either way in the bat book.

You could always try whatever you intend to do and report back

No problem. I was just curious as the topic came up in a conversation the other day. I wasn't sure if there were known issues or not. I've heard anecdotally that GNU m4 can be temperamental with some non-ascii characters but wasn't sure if sendmail had strict requirements.
