As this thread has drifted off topic any way, would it for instance be a
good idea to simply not accept mail from hosts that clearly use
autoconfig ie reject all smtp from EUI-64 addresses. Of course not a
wise idea for your own outbound relays which should handle mail from
your customers but on the incoming side it might as well save a lot of
headache and there is no need to keep track of which /64 are access
networks.


That would be really, really bad. My 3750's won't accept arbitrary
/128's in an ACL unless it's EUI-64 or I make up something similar that
it will like. I'm sure I'm not the only person who owns a 3750. As such,
my mail servers are using EUI-64 addresses.
