As the migration to IPv6 progresses one would expect the curent tools to migrate also. The current network blocking databases would grow incrementally along with the deployment of IPv6 so there's no cause for alarm as long as the methods used to populate and maintain these databases are automated and/or scalable at the same rate. That said, static network blocking is a "first generation" spam/malware filtering mechanism which is prone to errors, attacks, and bypasses. Spammers are already figuring out how to avoid and polute these kinds of systems. I'm biased, but I believe the future belongs to more advanced methodologies including collaborative filters, content filtering, and rapid-adaptive network blocking systems like dynamic squelch propagation. _M Pete McNeil (Madscientist) President, MicroNeil Research Corporation Cheif Sortmonster (www.sortmonster.com) --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
