Hello Flavio,

OK, so it is 4:80/1 that you want us to test.

 FB> 4:801/188 is as of now a private node, which I use to read Fido email.

Here we normally use a point number if/when we do not want to use the main node number for reading and posting mail.

You can not change it yourself via the web page of the DNS provider? Hmmm...

So give us the literal IPv6 number, so we can test on that...


Cheers, Michiel
