Currently it is not feasible to do ipv6 reputation filtering. IPv4 reputation 
filtering is a big part of most anti-spam engines, so without it, SPF / DKIM of 
domain reputation is the best alternative.

BTW, we have had to remove all IPv6 from our mail gateways due to the large 
number of Exchange SBS with broken isatap/6to4 tunnels causing mail to 
blackhole. These have been at small web based retailers which don't have hosted 
email. After the third incident, we yanked our IPv6 from our MX/gateways.

Lorenzo,

it looks like Google is trying to enforce SPF / DKIM on ipv6 connections 
where there is no similar requirement for ipv4.  Is there a particular 
reason for this?  It's causing a lot of breakage.
