[Bug 4965] New: IPv6 address in trusted_networks

http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=4965

           Summary: IPv6 address in trusted_networks
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.1.3
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: Libraries
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: Mark.Martinec@ijs.si


IPv6 address (with CIDR mask) should be allowed to be specified
in trusted_networks and internal_networks, with corresponding
code enhancement to properly parse and match such addresses
in Received header fields.

See RFC 3513 for alowed syntax. Postfix provides an address like
[IPv6:2001:1470:ff80:88:2e0:81ff:fe2d:22a2] in Received header
field.

Currently it is ill-advised to have MSA hosts feeding mail to
and internal MTA (where content filter runs) over IPv6, because
DUL and SPF (and related) tests do not recognize that mail
is coming from a trusted host and misfire.

Consequently one must currently force MSA hosts to forward mail
to an IPv4 MTA transport address instead of a host name (A/AAAA/MX)
to avoid MSA choosing IPv6 protocol - or avoid AAAA rr in DNS.

see bug 4964; if we were to go that way, this would be a side-effect.

Mark, your thoughts on that bug discussion would be welcome.

(BTW ipv6-vs-DUL is a whole other issue, and one that will involve getting
the DNSBL operators involved.)

actually, just realised; this is a dup of 4964
