IPv6 spam experiment

Filed under: IPv6 — Tags: , , — DanielW @ 7:40 pm

Although we all hate spam there are a few hundreds (IPv4) spam deliveries to this server a day. Wouldn’t it be a good indicator of IPv6 deployment to monitor the growth of spam coming over IPv6?

When IPv6 spam starts to come in we can consider IPv6 going mainstream.

So my little spam experiment starts today with the IPv6-only email-address:  mail@lkjhgfdsa.der-winti.de

Feel free to publish this address where ever you think it will help to get it in the spammers address databases. The problem is that the address is virtually useless for anything else (from the top 500 websites only Wikipedia can receive IPv6-mail), so it is quite hard to spread it.

I will report when i got the first IPv6 spam :-)
