Re: IPv6 only sa-update channels?
Hi Daryl how are you? Just reviving an older thread here. With the aid of the Victorian State Govt here in Oz, we have just fired up an IPv6 TestBed to help organisations stage transition exercises etc to IPv6. Vendors are starting to look favourably at the opportunity to assist clients into the space too (which means we gets toys to play with :-)) We are progressively documenting issues faced in moving to IPv6, one of which is repositories. Keen on looking at an that IPv6 repository. I know that the Australian Academic Research Network as expressed interest in assisting. Is there any way we can assist in moving this forward? BTW, the TestBed info is at www.vic6.net :-) Cheers and best regards George On Fri, 2008-11-28 at 22:30 -0500, Daryl C. W.

IPv6 only sa-update channels?
I hope this is the right place to pose this question. Apologies in advance if it isn't. We have built an IPv6 only mail server. It connects only to IPv6Land. Its our way of finally getting to grips with what the issues are and will be. I suspect I have missed something simple but when I do sa-update --debug it can't find spamassassin.apache.org for the updates. I am guessing that this server only lives in Ipv4 Land? If this is the case, is there an IPv6 repository that can be reached? Thanks in advance George George Fong Lateral Plains Pty Ltd Tel: +61 3 5335 2243 Just remember, wherever you go there you are.

Hi Daryl, thanks for the quick response On Fri, 2008-11-28 at 22:30 -0500, Daryl C. W.

There are no IPv6 repositories that I am aware of. If there's enough interest in one, I'd be happy to look into setting an official one up. We would be keen and appreciative of this. I'm not sure what the status of mirror systems is but we would also be keen on assisting here too. If there is anything we can do to push this forward please let us know. As an aside, I'd be interested to know how much, if any, spam you get to your IPv6 only server. I had one for a short while a number or years ago and didn't get any mail at all. Well this is the first of a number of IPv6 mail servers we will be building and putting into operation. We will probably have a dual stack one as well and as our experience builds up I will feed back to the list. Innovation in IPv6, especially in relation to the elimination of NAT and the prospect of real end to end integrity must in our view open up the prospects of developing better ways of stopping spam and malware. As far as v6 is concerned I think that 2009 will be a threshold year for this :-) Cheers and thanks. G.

Some educational institutions exchange a significant amount of mail over IPv6. The amount of spam is still quite low or non-existent for some. Regards, -sm
