I am starting to get more spam from ipv6 space. It's not a flood yet, but I've noticed it. Maybe 1 in 50 that get through my spam filters is from a spammer in ipv6-land. That is relatively insignificant at the moment, but it's not going to go away.
Is there any ongoing work to make spamcop grok ipv6 addresses?

Full Version: ipv6

This is the place for ALL new feature requests. I will be moving the other thread here.
Can you provide a TrackingURL for some of these? I can not ever remember seeing one where the source or remote servers were using IPv6. Everyone I have seen, only the local mail server was using it and converting everything it received to the IPv6 representation.

Here's an example that I just resubmitted (I altered the date since the original was from Aug 17 and spamcop rejects messages more than a couple days old):

Based on that sample, the real question would be .... do you have any e-mail collected from mx1.freebsd.org that is not showing IPv6 addresses?

Yes. Most of the email I get that passes through mx1.freebsd.org is IPv4.

By the way, why is that the real question?

Because that would be the server adding the IPv6 header (at least for that mail route) and would be one path to follow to get your reporting working again.
As I stated earlier, I don't recall ever seeing IPv6 headers on a connecting source, only ones further up the chain.

You can't say that anymore, since you've seen one now.
Note that it's not an IPv4 compatible address that was IPv6-ified, but an actual IPv6 address.
Anyway, it's not a lot of spam that does this yet. I have seen a few, so I just thought I'd get the discussion rolling.
