Test: Email via IPv6 issue

[jaxx]

Hi everyone,

Trying to get beyond the Enthusiast test... Though I have very old zone and some entries are probably a bit messy, it seems that everything should be ok for IPv6 mail reception on my side:

Test mail trying to be sent to jaxx@6.paris.jaxx.org

From an external view (using another tunnel):

jaxx@neuron3-b:~$ dig MX 6.paris.jaxx.org +short
5 stor.lab.6.paris.jaxx.org.
jaxx@neuron3-b:~$ dig AAAA stor.lab.6.paris.jaxx.org +short
2001:470:d32c:1::3
jaxx@neuron3-b:~$ dig -x 2001:470:d32c:1::3 +short
stor.lab.6.paris.jaxx.org.

I telnet'ed using IPv6 from that server and from my LAN on port 25 to try sending myself a mail with success.

It's a v6 exclusive setup on a postfix.

The only entry that appeared in the logs upon one of my numerous tests was pretty strange:

Nov 27 22:48:12 labstor postfix/smtpd[5661]: connect from unknown[unknown]
Nov 27 22:48:12 labstor postfix/smtpd[5661]: lost connection after CONNECT from unknown[unknown]
Nov 27 22:48:12 labstor postfix/smtpd[5661]: disconnect from unknown[unknown]

Without any mail being delivered, no qmgr nor local logs.

Did I miss anything?

Thx alot

Hi there


'Unknown' suggests a DNS isssue.

I can connect to your server just fine;

sput:~$ telnet -6 stor.lab.6.paris.jaxx.org smtp
Trying 2001:470:d32c:1::3...
Connected to stor.lab.6.paris.jaxx.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 serv.lab.6.paris.jaxx.org ESMTP Postfix (Debian/GNU)
helo ns.sput.nl
250 serv.lab.6.paris.jaxx.org
quit
221 2.0.0 Bye
Connection closed by foreign host.

Try a bit of debugging using telnet. Typing SMTP commands (helo, mail from:, rcpt to:, data).

Thx Rob,

That said, I imagine it should still show up the IP even though it couldn't resolve, shouldn't it ?

And I did get get good looking logs earlier from my own telnet'd e-mails

I wonder if gmail/google knows how to send pure ipv6/MX mails, otherwise gonna finish setting up my external server to see the logs.

Carrying on my tests ;-)

otherwise gonna finish setting up my external server to see the logs.

Done succesfully... a full blown e-mail sent from another server through another tunnel which handled everything perfectly...

Oh well... might get the t-shirt one day :-)

Got it !

Dunno if I changed something or if it was a cache issue, but Houray !

Haha, stuck on the next one "Your MX does not appear to have working RDNS"

Despite:

Probably a cache issue

[carl@mars ~]$ dig MX 6.paris.jaxx.org +short @ns2.he.net

Wouldn't work, jaxx.org is scrambled around various servers but not on ns1-5.he.net, so unless they recurse, I doubt it would have given any result

But HE's resolver ordns.he.net does spit good results:
