So for a while I was trying to solve this issue. But ended up looking at 6 year old posts or some sort of explanations in german (which is hard to understand even using google translate)

All potential fixes lead me to setting default encoding to UTF-8

basically if you put russian, lithuanian characters into vacation message window and try to save it you will get something like this 2%54 2%24 for every character I put.

I tried to resolve by changing default encoding to UTF-8 editing exim.cfg by typing

headers = Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
subject = "${if def:h_Subject: {Autoreply: "${escape:${length_50:$rh_Subject:}}"} {I am on vacation}}"

and ended up with broken outgoing messages

As we have a demand on autoreplies and vacation messages it's a constant issue.
I wonder if it's the default encoding problem not having UTF-8 or I'm looking at the wrong solution at this point.
 
Hello,

To add a support for Russian, Lithuanian characters you should switch to UTF-8.

As for servers with directadmin it's supported by Exim
SpamBlocker 4.4.x. If you don't have Directadmin, you can see how it's implemented and try to do the same, or just migrate to Directadmin.
