Toward SMTP over IPv4/v6

	IPv4/v6 MTAs -- patches are ready
	IPv4/v6 MUAs -- almost okay (pop6)

	Impact of

Experiment

	Asked to send test emails toward the following address, to public

%size 3
To: test@a.v6.wide.ad.jp
To: test@b.v6.wide.ad.jp

%font "typewriter", size 3
a.v6.wide.ad.jp. IN A 203.178.137.73
a.v6.wide.ad.jp. IN AAAA 3ffe:0501:1000::1

b.v6.wide.ad.jp. IN MX 10 c.v6.wide.ad.jp.
b.v6.wide.ad.jp. IN MX 20 a.v4.wide.ad.jp.

c.v6.wide.ad.jp. IN AAAA 3ffe:0501:1000::1
c.v4.wide.ad.jp. IN A 203.178.137.73

Results

	1380 emails sent from 1256 subdomains
		33 emails are with invalid From: field

	2 "MX loopback to myself" error
		(due to senders' misconfiguration?)
	1 "no route to host" error
		(due to old named - 4.8.3)

	Old softwares are not happy with AAAA
		Sendmail before x.x.x
		bind before x.x.x

What should we do now

	Let people know the problem
		Senders must update their software
		Informational document -> to be done

	For safety, use "v6" prefix in domain name for experiment
