We have begin the process of migrating our legacy IPv6 network into our /32 allocation, 2607:fe70::/32. Once this is complete, we will further enable other services with IPv6, such as incoming mail. If you’d like to test it, you can use 2607:fe70::1 as a ping or traceroute destination.

Verizon; Still No Progress
It’s been a while since we posted a Verizon update. The last time we had contact with them was at the end of December, and we recently learned that as of Friday (02-12-2010) that no progress has been made in re-provisioning the circuit to match what was ordered. The latest roadblock is that there isn’t [...]
Return of Outbound Account (AUTH) Logs
The logs for Outbound Accounts have returned! We have added preliminary IPv6 support (display only, no CIDR searching yet) and our queue ID will now be logged if the message was accepted into the mail queue. Viewing is now by outbound account name instead of domain name, which means that submissions from “mail server” account [...]
Send Mail Using IPv6!
If you’re feeling brave and have IPv6 connectivity, you can now submit mail to our Outbound Mail service (SMTP AUTH) over IPv6 by connecting to “smtpauth6.rollernet.us”. All of the same ports and TLS available under IPv4 also apply as we have simply dual-stacked the service. Please see “Submitting Outbound Mail via IPv6” on the forums [...]
Colocation, Hosting Delays, and the Holiday Season
If you’ve been keeping up on our newspipe you’ll know that the long story of delays with Verizon continues. We were informed yesterday (Dec 22.) that the circuit was ready, however it still does not need our basic requirements (IPv4/IPv6 dual stack). This is continuing to impact our ability to expand our colocation, dedicated servers, [...]
Verizon FOC Update
We were notified on December 10 that the circuit was finally ready to be turned up. However, during the process of assigning point-to-point addresses to the link, we discovered that it was out of Sacramento, CA. That means it was provisioned incorrectly yet again, just like back in September.
Verizon FOC Passed
The Verizon FOC date (as previously mentioned) passed without any changes. We’ve requested an update. [Dec. 9] The status lights on the port lit up today.
Verizon Soon?
It’s been a while since our last Verizon update, but today we received word that they have given us a Firm Order Commitment (FOC) of 12/4/2009 for the corrections that needed to be made. Since that’s a Friday, it means they probably will get started next week at the earliest, not that it will be [...]
Outbound Mail Now IPv6 Enabled
We recently enabled IPv6 in Postfix on our outgoing mail (SMTP AUTH, smarthost) service. This means that if a destination you’re sending mail to is accessible via IPv6 it will automatically connect and deliver using IPv6. If not, it will transparently fall back to IPv4 and continue to deliver as before.
Verizon Update: Contact!
We finally have a Verizon account manager for the first time since we last heard from our original account manager on August 3. While the IPv6 issues are not resolved, we’re trying to put a rush on the fixes we needed to be made back in August so we can at least have some basic [...]
