Lorenzo, (can you pass this question to the team at least?) While I'm not having issues, this is something that comes up periodically. If there are general statistics about percentages of mail via IPv4/IPv6, spam rates in a public location, or perhaps a google talk or similar, I for one would be interested in reviewing that resource. Due to the 96-bits/no-magic aspects of many peoples IPv6 deployments there are many documented cases where the technology for synthetic rDNS and other platforms don't exist [yet] or are poorly deployed. I (for example) have no idea what rDNS may exist for a DHCPv6-PD received prefix from my ISP would or perhaps should look like. (Same goes if you want to talk about adding DS and signing the rDNS as well, this may be more difficult than many care to admit). I know there have been some people that looked at this in-depth, but perhaps some better evangelisim would assist the community. (if someone has slides, i am offering to present them as i travel to various conferences). - jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from ja...@puck.nether.net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
