My mistake: I was referring to my subnet's _::1, not localhost.

Correct.

Do you mean mTLS? No I don't, and I don't think they even check for
that (otherwise there should be some header indicating that right?).

DKIM should be enough, except if they don't trust my NS (HE.net).

My domain name + DNS records. I believe their DNS cache is pretty fast.

It's either that (which personally I would find too simplistic and
problematic for a big company like Google) or their spam filter is full
of unreasonable and complex heuristics that are only optimized for
large volume providers.

Maybe I am missing something, but it seems I'm gonna have to go back to
IPv4 only for delivery :(

"No positive reputation" should not by default mean being redirected to spam
folder. If the sender has a *negative* reputation, then yes, the message
could be put to spam. But neither positive nor negative (ie. neutral)
reputation should just deliver mail normally and allow the reputation to
build in time.

If all mail from senders with "no positive" reputation will be directed to
spam from the beginning, then there is no possibility for the sender to
build up that positive reputation.

You say that you use ::1 in addition to your IPv4 address.
Shouldn't ::1 be in addition to 127.0.0.1 and
one of your new /64 addresses in addition to your IPv4 ?


My question is: why Gmail is OK with my old v4 but at the same time
doesn't trust my new v6 when they have all the information available to
verify that both sources are in fact from the same origin?


Can I presume that this is MTA -> MTA, not mail submission (which will 
leave gmail via your own gmail account) ?


Do you use a client certificate (in the TLS handshake ?) so that gmail
knows it is really you ?

What information does GMail have to determine that the two sources are the 
same and how quickly could they put it all together to prove that that

deduction is trustworthy ?
*Should* they even do this ? You presumably wouldn't want a visitor
to your /64 network to have the same reputation as your mailserver,
so why should they share reputation between your IPv4 and Ipv6 ?
If I understand correctly GMail can even give different trust levels to
different apps on the same phone !

I suspect that the simple answer is that GMail has not established that
the two sources are in fact the same, and your IPv6 source, being new,
has no positive reputation.

I don't see that at all.  I get mountains of bot spam on v4, still
close to none on v6.

i don't see this

a quick db query gives me:

v6  pct
--  --
0   89.45
1   10.55

it would probably be even more v4 as presently persistent ipv4 sources
are blocked; something i don't do for ipv6

Sorry, I should have been more precise: when I said that my server
followed "all the recommendations and standards" I meant things like
SPF, DKIM, DMARC, PTR, etc. So yeah, there are PTR records for both v4
and v6 addresses, and I believe the other records are correct too.

For SPF I am using CIDR notation according to the RFC for my /64, and
Gmail seems ok with it (I get 3 PASSes, including the SPF from my v6).

IPv6 is normally preferred so if you have published an  for the 
highest priority MX then IPv6 would be tried first, and since you accept 
the messages you no longer see much IPv4 from them.  As to why they 
don't like you via IPv6 -- they are (more) "strict" about IPv6

2019-12-18 Thread Al Iverson via mailop
Probably lack of authentication. Did you set up an SPF record? Did
that SPF record include your V6 addresses?

Honestly, so much of email service is on ipv4 that I just disabled my
server's ipv6 interface. Prior to that I would have similar issues,
intermittently. It turns out the intermittent nature was whether or
not the mail was transiting over ipv4 or ipv6. I THOUGHT I had the
ipv6 entries set up correctly in my SPF record, but it's quite
possible that I didn't. (It was a while ago...I don't remember.)

Cheers,
Al
