Really? How many mail servers are up on IPv6? How many legacy mail clients can handle IPv6? How many MTA software packages can handle IPv6 today "right out of the box" without specific configuration?

Does any IPv6 enabled ISP provide PTR records for mail servers?

How does Google handle mail from an IPv6 server?

The Internet is not just the Web.
