Let's see, thus you have ip6:2001:db8::/32 in your SPF record? I don't
think that is a nice parsable format. Should at least be something like:
ip6:[2001:db8::/32] then, otherwise it is quite ambiguous, eg:
"ip6:::ffff:192.0.2.0/24" would not really work IMHO.

Also, unfortunately MARID has been stopped, but things can also be
arranged outside of the IETF.

But how, that is the question ? :)
I would like to allow 2001:7b8:300::/48 for instance, I cannot stuff
that into DNS using MX records.

Next to that, as you mention, there doesn't seem to be much movement and
support for IPv6 and how many hosts will actually support IPv6 SPF
records and/or check them at all, thus does it make sense? -> not yet...

When they have solved it, I will add these SPF records of course as I
think it is a good way of at least halting down some spam...
Then again most UE I receive is virusses and then anti-virus reports
from misconfigured anti-virus tools and after that a little bit of spam.
All of which gets taken care of by SA and Clam ;)

Greets,
 Jeroen
