No, I'm saying that when IPv4 starts going away, there will be more and 
more systems needing to send mail via NAT to such that client and server 
ends of the connection have different address types.

(There are already some IPv6 only ISPs and I expect this will become 
more viable over time.   Should they have to set up IPv4 tunnels or ALGs 
for their "legitimate" customers so those customers can still send email 
to IPv4 servers?)
