Well, it should be a mess. :-(

Consider mailman get a spam from a foreign country and caused an error. 
  Mailman may complain UnicodeDecodeError and spew an excerpt containing 
unknown charset string.  This is certainly not printable if there is no 
encoding which means only us-ascii is accepted for the log file.  Even 
if you determine the charset for your language (eg. euc-jp for 
japanese), you still get error for a chinese spam.

It may be useful if the log output use 'replace' feature of encode() method.
