For IPv6 I consider it "address spam". My content filter will give you some
extra tiny score if your MX uses such an address.
If you want to do it, make sure you do understand the restrictions that apply
to IPv6 addresses, like U/G bits, etc. Too many people unfortunately just
think it's cool in a weird geeky sense and violate RFCs with them. I was very
close to write an article about that after W6D...
