That's very true.  A couple of points on this, as regards ratelimit.py.
Courier on my servers is IPv6 enabled, and addresses are posted to the
log in the form "::ffff:a.b.c.d", a hybrid notation which I think is
deprecated at this point, although it works.

RFC 4291 documents this notation in section 2.2; it's from 2006. Section 2.2 is also referenced from RFC 6052, in 2010.

What's deprecated is the "IPv4-compatible IPv6 address", represented as ::a.b.c.d, this is referenced in RFC 4291 as well.
