I don't think that reasoning really holds water, there. IPv6 space is also finite. There'd need to be minor operational changes to support it, and there are a couple of naive approaches currently used in IPv4 that would fail dismally in IPv6 without some changes, but nothing particularly difficult. If anything, reduction in use of NATs might make some sorts of blacklist more accurate and effective in IPv6 space than in IPv4. > Note that my argument that MTAs with only IPV6 won't be established > is not contradicted by the existence of MTAs with IPV6 and IPV4 > connectivity.
