[SOLVED] IPv6 eMail Test not working (with hmail setup).

[vivow]

So here I am, a IPv6 and webserver newbie, with "one of these question".
I started the IPv6 Certf. a couple of hours ago and currently am trying to pass the administratos test using my own free afraid.org domain for my servers (xampp/mercury on windows 7)
with the HE tunnelbroker.
The setup worked fine for the http grab test.
I also can receive eMails coming from the IPv4 Internet to my adress, but apparently, not from IPv6/HE.
Hitting "Send It" changes the icon to "Sending...", but nothing ever arrives.
So far Ive worked out these points of failure:
1) Mercury doesnt support IPv6 at all. Trying is useless.
2) In the mercury setup ini, I set the smtp interface to my nics IPv4 wan adress (worked for receiving ipv4 mail). my IPv6 addy didnt work at all, so we'd be back at point1. Or I made a mistake here.
3) The error is somewhere else, maybe over at HE.

vivow.chickenkiller has an A record for 91.65.122.34 (my IPv4 wan) and an AAAA one for 2001:0470:1f0a:0316:0000:0000:0000:0002 (my tunnelbroker client IP)
The MX record directs to vivow.chickenkiller.com, so IPv4 emails being sent to vivow@vivow.chickenkiller.com arrive.

So, long story short: nice try, but I have to set up a zimbra server with ipv6 enabled on linux to receive emails that way OR should it be possible with the current setup?

any kind of suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance. :)
I know the point of this forum isnt giving a step by step guide, but I hope a more general question regarding the test and Mercury is allowed.


short note at the end: My server will be down for a while, I dont want to leave it unattended without having worked out all/any of the security aspects.

[donbushway]

You could try a different mail server since mercury does not currently support ipv6.
Hmail does and it is free also.

[cholzhauer]

Agreed.

You will also want to change the IP address you've created an AAAA record with as HE doesn't delegate DNS for the tunnel interfaces...assign an address out of your routed /64 instead.

[vivow]

Thanks guys,

Hmail worked fine with IPv4 (after turning off all W7 Firewall  ::) ), but again IPv6 didnt work.
Guess it all boils down to that I dont know how to assign additional adresses from my /64 to my computer.
Trying it with my :2 client Adresses resulted in a ".... unexpected welcome" from HE.
So I give up and will try again when I got more time on my hands :D

[cholzhauer]

If you look at your tunnel broker page, you will see a line that says "Routed /64"

Pick an address out of that range and assign it to your ethernet adapter.  If you don't know how, i'm sure Google has the answer.

[vivow]

Thanks, I did assign it to my ethernat adapter, but I didnt get any IPv6 connectivity via that connection.
HE v6 Portscan only reported SMTP etc on my :2 client adress and no host on my chosen /64 one.
I also tried assigning a gateway (my :2 client adress and the HE server IP) to that nic, but didnt have any success and Windows kept complaining about multiple gateways. (IPv4 and v6 Gateway, or the tunnel and nic v6's gateways I assume).

[cholzhauer]

lets see your routing tables and the output of ipconfig /all

[vivow]

this is my output with the gateway fir my nic being ::1

[cholzhauer]

Those look OK, minus the fact you have two default routes...might want to delete them both and re-add one.

What sort of problems are you having? Nothing works?

Your tunnel is up

I can't ping your ::5 host though.

the ::5 is the issue I have. It is not reachable from the outside. It should have the 25 port open
I can browse the ipv6 internet.

right now, i'm trying out if i can do it that http://www.tunnelbroker.net/forums/index.php?topic=918.0 way.

[cholzhauer]

You can browse the internet?  What do sites see as your public facing IP?  try something  like whatismyipv6.com or something

Like I said, I can't even ping that host, so unless you're blocking something, something else still isn't set right.

I think port 25 is closed too

[vivow]

My public IPv6 IP is the ::2 client adress.
Port 25 is open in my firewall and is reachable from the ipv4.
So my problem is that I cant assign the ::5/64 Adress to my NIC and use that as public IP via the IP6Tunnel, and thus not passing the Admin Test.

[cholzhauer]

It sounds like something is wrong with your routing tables, but nothing stands out at me. 

Did you clean up the two default routes?
