It is already documented; you can look up the specific IPv4 associated
with the 6to4 IPv6 address you got the spam from.

If you blocked port 25 from that entire /16 (but allowed 587 and maybe
465 if you support that), I'll wager in practical terms you'd never
see a complaint related to legitimate mail.
