Correction. I did not read the tables carefully enough. March 2018: 238 servers with SMTPUTF8 September 2016: 83 servers with SMTPUTF8
So the overall trend is upwards but there was a peak in May 2017 when there were 255 servers with SMTPUTF8
True, but in the old .su domain things are more encouraging, and the .ru domain (which is still the bulk of runet) shows a far steadier increase, with numbers measured in 1000s. Is the drop-off associated with the first sets of renewal fees coming due? If so, the early growth might have been anomalously fast, and corrected. Another year or two will add clarity I suppose. cheers
