Well, as courier seems to prefer IPv4 if a host name has both records and no 
real domain has IPv6-only connectivity, I do not really have outbound 
connections. I did not find any in my logs recently, apart from the one I 
stated in my first post. :)

But most other system services (Jabber, SSH, FTP) and client-side e-mail 
connections usually prefer IPv6 if both connections are available. And I'm 
happy to see that there is some traffic on our IPv6 interface.

In Germany, the biggest ISP for end users (T-Online) recently announced that 
they are planning to provide native IPv6 on all DSL connections during 2011. 
So, german data center companies start offering IPv6 from now on to be 
prepared for this.

I think that IPv6 traffic will start growing during the next year but at the 
moment, it's at very low level (I don't have stats, just my opinion).

DNSBLs should not be necessary now, I think that nowadays most spam is sent 
via poorly maintained systems and those admins will not implement IPv6 too 
soon.
