OVH IPv6 /64 bad reputation
Open, NormalPublic

Description

I've finally found out why my IPv6 /64 block is listed inside this blocking service:

https://check.spamhaus.org/

This is our legitimate IPv6:

2001:41d0:701:1100::35ab

Note that in any virtual private server in OVH it seems you do NOT own IPv6 /64 block. I've contacted OVH to report that spammer and to reserve an /64.

> We inform you that, at OVHcloud, it is not possible to purchase and reserve a block of IPv6 because each IPv6 is unique is associated with only one host.
Thank you for contacting Spamhaus CSS Removals,

This is to be expected of VPS hosting.
Consider abandoning IPv6 for mail. The merits are insignificant.

Even with my own /64, getting places to accept mail requires working DNS and that is beyond OCN...

Restored all interfaces for reception

# The setting "smtp_address_preference = ipv4" is not a solution for remote servers that
# flag email received over IPv6 as more 'spammy' (the client IPv6 address has a bad or missing
# PTR or AAAA record, bad network neighbors, etc.).
# Instead, configure Postfix to receive mail over both IPv4 and IPv6, and to deliver mail over only IPv4. 
#
# Example:
#
#   /etc/postfix/main.cf:
#       inet_protocols = all
#
#   /etc/postfix/master.cf
#       smtp ...other fields... smtp -o inet_protocols=ipv4
#
# The setting "smtp_address_preference = ipv6" is unsafe. All deliveries will suffer delays during an IPv6 outage, even while the destination is still reachable over IPv4.
# The setting "smtp_address_preference = any" is safe.

but enabled only IPv4 for client sending
