The article has nothing to do with IPv6.
- bri3d 4y agoThe whole point of the article is that Google's sender identity scoring system is more strict when the sending IP is an IPv6 one. That's a pretty clear cut link to IPv6, no?
- bragr 4y agoGoogle is really strict in general about these kinds of things. I had to go a few rounds with my VPSes before emails from them would consistently not end up in spam, but looking at the headers I'm mostly using IPv6 so I don't draw the conclusion "don't use IPv6" just "if you have IPv6, which is more likely than not now, be careful and read the docs"
- telmich 4y agoLet me rephrase: the whole article is equally valid for IPv4. Being more or less strict is a claim the article makes without proof. And as far as my experience goes, there is no difference. So standing by it: the article has nothing to do with IPv6 per se.
- m348e912 4y agoHuh? I'm not even sure how you came to that conclusion. Gmail is probably tougher on mail servers using IP6 addresses because they're plentiful and I suspect spammers were having a field day setting up temporary mail relays forcing google to play whack-a-mole. I used to run my own email server years ago but spam and spam protection measures have made it time consuming and annoying. I'll leave it to the professionals.
