	Title		: SMTP operational experience in mixed IPv4/IPv6 
                          environements
	Author(s)	: M. Nakamura, J. Hagino

This document lists operational requirements for IPv6 SMTP and
IPv6-capable MX DNS records.  As IPv6 SMTP servers are deployed, it has
become apparent that certain configurations are necessary in
IPv6-capable MX DNS records for stable dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) SMTP
operation.  This document clarifies the problems that exist in the
transition period between IPv4 SMTP and IPv6 SMTP.  It also defines
operational requirements for stable IPv4/v6 SMTP operation.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
