First thing I can think of is spam and abuse
- formerly_proven 5y agoGood luck sending emails with IPv6.
- profmonocle 5y agoIt works fine with Gmail. And since G Suite is so widely used, tons of domains can send/receive mail over IPv6 just fine.
- vaylian 5y agoWhy should that be an issue?
- erinnh 5y agoSome mail-admins will downgrade IPv6-only MX servers reputation-wise, due to the limiting/cost-increasing factor of IPv4 Addresses.
- BenjiWiebe 5y agoI do it already. Well, both IPv4 and IPv6. There's a decent number of IPv6 capable MX's out there, the most prominent being GMail. If you were meaning IPv6-only then yes that would be pretty bad.
- profmonocle 5y agoIf an IPv6 spam filter is working on a per-address basis, it's never going to work. The smallest allocation you can get from a RIR is a /48. Even residential ISPs give at least a /64. You could use a different address for every email and never run out.
