        This doesn't work when you've got a country such as Belgium or
Switzerland where someone could speak one of two or more languages,
and yet still have an e-mail address within that ccTLD.

        And how do you handle gTLDs? Do you have a world-wide database
that has the language preferences of all six billion plus people
stored in it? If so, how do you handle their dozens and dozens of
aliases and other e-mail accounts they have?

        What about translating error messages that would be propagated up
to postfix from libraries it uses? Or from the Operating System
itself? What about error messages received from the other end that
would also need to be translated?

        Trust me, we've given this a *lot* of thought.
