[OT] IPv6 applications in active use

[Pim van Pelt]

Hi Daniel,

|  Just a question.
|  I've been using Ipv6 for mail quite sometime , and was
|  wondering why this mailling list does not try to first 
|  send on the 6bone ? I know my 6Bone mail is working , including
|  the websight (unix.za.net) .. for more than a year now.
Well, I'm not sure that ISI.edu has IPv6 connectivity themselves on
their mail platform, eg:

$ host -t MX isi.edu
isi.edu mail is handled (pri=10) by gamma.isi.edu
isi.edu mail is handled (pri=0) by tnt.isi.edu
$ host -t AAAA tnt.isi.edu
(none)
$ host -t AAAA gamma.isi.edu
(none)

|  Send mail to daniel@unix.za.net , and it will come through
|  on the 6bone is you would like to try . I'm allmost at the
|  stage were one could only use Ipv6 for mail setups over multiple
|  cities.
I have CC:ed daniel@unix.za.net and you'll see it coming in over IPv6 at
your site, because:

$ host -t MX ipng.nl
ipng.nl mail is handled (pri=20) by hog.ipng.nl
ipng.nl mail is handled (pri=10) by mailhost.ipng.nl
$ host -t AAAA mailhost.ipng.nl
mailhost.ipng.nl IPv6 address 2001:7b8:2:0:290:27ff:fe0c:5c5e
$ host -t AAAA hog.ipng.nl     
hog.ipng.nl IPv6 address 2001:7b8:3:51:203:47ff:fe73:1f0f

Kind regards,
Pim
