Hello Allen,

On Sunday March 05 2017 21:00, you wrote to me:

That is no good if your mailer does not answer to that address:

As you can see, it doesn't. You have to fix that first before you add an AAAA record to your host name. Advertising an IPv6 address that does not connect decreases your connectivity because the other side will try IPv6 first and time out.


Cheers, Michiel
