PureMessage for UNIX: Enabling UTF-8 for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Characters

Support for UTF-8 encoding of East Asian languages is disabled by default, although this capability is available in PureMessage. This support affects the Quarantine Search Results page and Quarantine Message Details pages of the PureMessage Manager, and the quarantined messages listed in the End User Web Interface.

To enable UTF-8 encoding of Chinese traditional, Chinese simplified, Japanese and Korean characters, edit the /opt/pmx/etc/utf8.conf file and change the following:

Also, to use Shift-JIS and EUC-JP character encodings, edit the /opt/pmx/etc/utf8.conf file and change the encoding options section to iconv_enabled = yes, for example:

     <encoding options>
iconv_enabled = yes
</encoding>
