Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/anonaddy/anonaddy/issues/717

Using a selfhosted instance of Addy and have noticed the following issue.

When emails are received to an alias with charset="shift_jis" (possibly any non UTF-8?) the emails are indefinitely deferred with the following entry in the logs.
Jan 31 19:50:27 mail postfix/pipe[1641]: 2E63D2800000005BDF4: to=<alias@domain.com>, relay=anonaddy, delay=4643, delays=4642/0.02/0/0.48, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (An error has occurred, please try again later. )

When the same email is sent using the same account from the same mail client, but forced to use UTF-8 for the charset, the email is received via the alias without issue.

There was mention of the same issue in #485 but it was never explored further in that issue.
