I think that IPv6 is a good thing. |

But I would be remis to not say that IPv6 is somewhat of a black sheep |
| 11 |
in the email administrators community. |

You still effectively must have IPv4 connectivity to your email server, |
| 14 |
lest a non-trivial percentage of email fail to flow. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I also know of a number of email administrators that are specifically |
| 17 |
dragging their feet regarding IPv6 because there hasn't yet been |
| 18 |
critical mass use of IPv6 /for/ /email/. |
| 19 |

In fact, some of the early IPv6 adopters for email are spammers. So |
| 21 |
some administrators stim this tide by being exclusively IPv4. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I think dual stack for email servers is great. (Deal with the spam.) |
| 24 |
But being exclusively IPv6 on an email server is going to be problematic. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I'm focusing on email servers because that's what this thread had |
| 27 |
largely been about. |
