Where did you hear that?  I can't imagine that
IPv6 is any less (or any more) anonymous than IPv4.

Spammers and botnets *do not care* about anonymity.  Why should they
when they can easily steal someone's identity by subverting his or her
computer?  That is why pretending that strong authentication will affect
spam is fantasyland.

[Well, the botnet operators care about personal anonymity, I guess, so
they cover their tracks.  But they don't care about anonymity as far as
interacting with SMTP servers goes.]
