** Andy Smith <andy(a)bitfolk.com> [2013-09-02 21:06]: ** end quote [Andy Smith] Yes the are, I've had bounces from them with my Entanet IPv6 addresses with the following text: (generated from paul(a)aptanet.com) SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data: host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com [2a00:1450:400c:c05::1b]: 550-5.7.1 [2001:4d48:ad52:3a00::202 16] The sender does not meet basic ipv6 550-5.7.1 sending guidelines of authentication and rdns resolution of sending 550-5.7.1 ip.

This also impacts email to ntlworld.com email addresses, and after putting things together I suspect they may have been silently dropping emails on occaisions for some time (given emails to both gmail.com and ntlworld.com domains that I've had no way to trace why they never arrived going back to earlier this year). I'm investigating at the moment as I would prefer not to have to switch off IPv6 to get mail working - it seems a backward step!

** Mathew Newton <bitfolklist(a)newtonnet.co.uk> [2013-09-03 14:29]: ** end quote [Mathew Newton] Thanks for that, I hadn't thought to look at the Bitfolk wiki, largely because I'm not using my Bitfolk server for outbound mail (although thinking about it some of my websites are, so I should probably look into that too now!). I'm not running my own external server, but may be able to set something up on the services I do use for DNS (or just consolidate and do it myself, at the moment I have my .uk domains with my registrar and the .com, .net and .org ones on a free service - cheapskate that I am ;) ). I'll have to go back to my local server setup, I seem to remember having issues with the reverse DNS on my local DNS server for IPv6 and have a feeling I forgot to go back and sort it out - my own setup is always the neglected one! -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com/ | 023 9238 0001 ============================================================================= Registered in England | Company No: 4905028 | Registered Office: Ralls House, Parklands Business Park, Forrest Road, Denmead, Waterlooville, Hants, PO7 6XP

Hello Phil, On Tue, Sep 03, 2013 at 08:13:26PM +0100, Phil Stewart wrote: I am not keen on it since everyone gets 2⁶⁴-1 IPv6 addresses by default and this will likely be increased to 2⁵⁶-1 by default at some point. By comparison everyone only gets one IPv4 address by default and the option to have zero globally-routable IPv4 addresses may appear at some point.¹ In my view that makes the two things fundamentally different. However it has been suggested that customers could still manage the contents of zones without running their own DNS servers, by doing dynamic DNS. So I do hope to look into that. Cheers, Andy ¹ Once reaching the IPv4 Internet via some form of IPv6 proxy becomes feasible, anyway. -- http://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting

Hello, I do understand that some people find setting up a name server and configuring the zones etc. to be a bit of a hassle and they would really much rather have a web interface to poke at to set up the handful of reverse DNS entries that they have. Just that, if you say you *do* like editing zone files in vim, then that probably doesn't apply to you :) or if it does then I don't understand how..
