Hi,

I was looking for an IPv6 fix for Botnet before but nobody (including
me) was able to do it. I have now looked at your solution and to my
Perl-unexperienced eyes, it looks promising.

I have installed it on my server and am now waiting for E-Mails from
IPv6 hosts. Could somebody please just send me a message from an IPv6
mail server to my address? (Preferably from a host that should not be
caught by Botnet...)

Is this fix supposed to avoid IPv6 false positives only, or also to do
its job in detecting IPv6 bots correctly?
