Re: IPv6

it's true, that [mx.example.com] would force to use the hosts AAAA or A record 
instead it's MX record, but what I had in mind, was:

mynetworks = 212.25.0.0/19, [2001:8e0::/32]

Hi List,

- ip6:.....um.

well, I don't consider myself a IPv6 Wizard, but a mere "User of the 
Technology"...

As far as I can tell, the SPF RFC looks right regarding IPv6 - the ipv6 
syntax is IMHO [::1/128] - at least in postfix, there are other places 
where you don't need the [].

Are you referring to postfix's transport mapping?  If so, the [] is the
way to tell postfix not to do MX lookups on the address, but to use the
A/AAAA record for the address directly (or just use it if it's an IP
address rather than a hostname).  Postfix uses bracketed addresses to
mean "don't do MX lookups" in a lot of places, but the transport map is
the one that springs immediately to mind.
