Mail.Ru and Rambler have covered the possibility of registering new users with Cyrillic logins

Friday night

In this topic I will not try to answer the question " Why Cyrillic logins? ", But only want to draw attention to the fact habraobschestvennosti inter national discrimination, artificially-created the largest companies-postal service, such as Google and Yandex . Looking at them, other Russian mailers, such as Mail.ru and Rambler , also decided to support their desire to stifle, in the bud, support for the national alphabets in mailing addresses.

I repent: I, myself, also, involuntarily, involuntarily, made some contribution to the process of “strangling” national logins, recklessly writing letters with a racial offer to the sapport of these mailers about the automatic conversion of Cyrillic addresses in the web interface of their mail, He also described possible (inevitable) problems of mass distribution (epidemic) of information security threats associated with this, and methods of effective protection against phishing of nat-addresses.

But, they, instead of starting to compile and update a more or less adequate blacklist containing

xn - i1atf
xn - 90agu3en
xn - 80ahid8a

and another, like this disgrace, simply decided to take and completely ban the registration of new accounts containing two minuses in a row.

Do Cyrillic email addresses exist? No, son. It is fantastic

National domains have become a reality for a long time, but still have not received wide distribution, perhaps even due to the fact that the interfaces of the most popular (I'm not afraid of the word, generally all ) mail programs do not provide the ability to automatically transcode national logins (left side of the mailing address) in a canonical form suitable for further transmission to mail servers. For instance:

priceboard@priceboard.rf xn--80acjs0acheg@xn--80acjs0acheg.xn--p1ai

This circumstance looks most strange when there is "half" support for automatic transcoding (only the right side) of the mailing address by almost all modern mailers (including mail agents built into browsers).

But, where does Mail.Ru and Rambler?

The fact is that Rambler had (recently, the service is unavailable) the ability to completely connect Rambler mail for his domain (with all) the resulting goodies. But, after a sudden cover of Cyrillic logins, the meaning of this service completely disappeared. Mail.RU, although it did not provide the ability to screw on its own domains, however, having exhausted a long time ago the reserve of not only “beautiful”, but also simply “sane” addresses (in Latin), until recently, it left a not quite obvious opportunity to register Cyrillic logins.

Was there a MAIL?

My comment about the fact that Google Mail (unlike Mail.RU) does not support Cyrillic logins, ruthlessly zaminusili. At first I did not understand what was happening, but then everything fell into place.

The fact is that, half a year ago, I successfully registered the following e-mail addresses:

chat@mail.ru xn--80a0bn@mail.ru
rambler@rambler.ru xn--80acmxdwf@rambler.ru

The fact that they are workers is very easy to verify by simply writing me a couple of letters to them and receiving answers from me.
If, for some reason, you do not want to write letters to these addresses, then, for example, in the case of Mail.RU, you can simply look through my mail-agent for my account.

And how are things with our brothers 中国 @ 中国. 中国

Honestly, I don’t know. Talk about international addresses began back in 2008.

Experimental standards

RFC 5335 , 5336, and 5337
The most recent 6530 was written in February 2012.
ICANN is testing national domains and national mailboxes .

Road to the future

I really hope that if Microsoft in its 8 Windows (namely, in its out-glitch) finalizes, finally, the function of fully converting national addresses, then other "small bipods", such as de-bat , tunder bird, apple ...
