Summary:碩士 === 淡江大學 === 資訊管理學系碩士班 === 99 === Email has become an inevitable tool in our daily communication. However, there is no direct correspondence between users and the Email addresses they use. In addition, although we can have various mail domains in a single mail server, but the account uniqueness may restrict the username used. This is not fitting in with the namesake in real life. A recipient can be easily identified by his/er name and address when sending a snail mail. For this reason, this paper adopt Chinese traditional postal address concept as Email address, such as王小明@3號.中山路一段.台北市 as the e-mail address. There are two problems to be overcome in using the traditional postal address as an Email address. The first is the domain name that after the character “@”. Due to DNS inheritance property, domain name growth top-down, also limited and restricted by the top-level domain name (such as com, edu). Traditional domain name system could not support the Email address as a postal address. This study employs PDNS to solve the first problem. The second problem is about the user account which before character @ in a email address. It involves the problem of mail collection and delivery. We adopt PDMA and PunycodeConverter together to solve this problem and support using user’s Chinese name together with who’s Chinese address as an identification of email address. This paper propose a new system that can delivery and collection Chinese Email. It can be used to correspond traditional postal address and Email address directly. That is, using traditional correspondence for Email application is possible.
