It makes me look like an idiot, and they start questioning why should they waste time/money on getting to be IPv6 ready.I don't quite see how this is anything to do with IPv6. If you set up an IPv4 mail server with no reverse DNS, your mail would be rejected by many servers, too. And there are certainly plenty of providers who won't let you configure the reverse DNS of an IPv4 address. Your provider assigned you an IP address with no reverse DNS, and you set up a mail server on that IP address. Most people would say that was unreliable even before knowing you're talking about IPv6 instead of IPv4. <shrug>
Also, please do *not* expect folks to toss anti-spam measures out the window just because they might move to v6. That would be naive. - - ferg - -- Paul Ferguson VP Threat Intelligence, IID PGP Public Key ID: 0x54DC85B2 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iF4EAREIAAYFAlMyNqkACgkQKJasdVTchbLmvgEA14CAn9T40qTwPwWMksDxMptb tROSknvz1UftBJNZqrsA+wfqdNtseWZinWAlGIs7AnaIsWb+A21iQovv0rRW1Nny =Wdwe -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
