Hi,

Last Tuesday I got a delay notice triggered by an email I sent to the list. 
That's unimportant, but while looking at it I saw this header:

Received-SPF: none (Address does not pass the Sender Policy Framework)
 SPF=HELO; sender=lists4.suse.de; remoteip=::ffff:195.135.221.135;
 remotehost=lists4.suse.de; helo=lists4.suse.de; receiver=exa.billmerriam.com;


I noticed the ipv6 address, and I was curious to check who it was:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> host "::ffff:195.135.221.135"
Host 7.8.d.d.7.8.3.c.f.f.f.f.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa 
not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)


Huh?

I then checked the ipv4 part:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> host 195.135.221.135
135.221.135.195.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer lists4.suse.de.


Clearly the address does exist. Now, who/what is to blame about the ipv6 
counterpart? Guesses:

 - Linux's 'host' program is not yet ipv6 aware.
 - Linux's 'named' daemon is not yet ipv6 aware, or not configured 
   properly
 - Ditto dns servers worldwide, or at suse, not yet ipv6 aware or not 
   configured properly
 - Human (ie, my) error.
