Hello Bj”rn!

Yes.  I only have 1 public IPv4 address, so I have to use an alternate port 
for the second system.

Any one you want.  Basically Relay6 takes connections to a specific port on 
your machine and relays them to the specified destination host/port.  For 
example:

relay6 32219 2001:470:8:d95:f1d0:1:320:219 24555

Then you override the hostname/port for my system (1:320/219) in your IPv4 
only mailer to localhost:32219.

When the mailer tries to connect to localhost:32219, relay6 passes the 
connection on to my system via your IPv6 tunnel.

In theory, you could run multiple copies of Relay6, each one using a different 
local port number; one for each IPv6 system you wish to connect to regularly. 
Of course, this will quickly become unmanageable if you have large numbers of 
IPv6 connections.

Hope this helps,

Andrew
