IPv6 connectivity to mx[1-4].smtp.goog.

Mailman List Mirror (Read Only)

Hi,

At https://internet.nl we're seeing IPv6 connection issues on TCP port 25 (SMTP) to mx[1-4].smtp.goog.

Either 100% DROP (so no TCP connection) or ⅔ failure to setup connection.

Further testing seems to confirm the problem is bigger and on Google's side.

So, this fails:

echo 'quit' | nc -6 -w 3 mx1.smtp.goog. 25

and this works:

echo 'quit' | nc -4 -w 3 mx1.smtp.goog. 25

(on MacOS use -G instead of -w)

Is anyone else seeing this? Any idea what is causing this?

We are seeing the same, but seems like it's mostly affecting delivery for broadcom.com, and a few other smaller domains. However, connectivity to the MX listed by gmail.com (and most other domains using GSuite, etc) are working fine over IPv6.

You may also want to ask the mailop list.

We are seeing the same,

Thanks.

You may also want to ask the mailop list.

I was about to do that, when I noticed that the problem seems solved.

sorry about the noise.
