Fwd: IPv6 Statistics was Re: please fix your broken DNS server

[Joseph T. Klein]

List,

Some help here please. I am at a loss as to why I can't send mail
to the City of Milwaukee. I get.

The MX records are:

monet# dig AAAA ci.mil.wi.us

; <<>> DiG 9.3.1 <<>> AAAA ci.mil.wi.us
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 13587
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:

renoir:~ jtk$ dig AAAA gwise.milwaukee.gov

; <<>> DiG 9.2.2 <<>> AAAA gwise.milwaukee.gov
;; global options:  printcmd

Hence dual stacked sendmail refuses to send mail to milwaukee.gov

I have ResolverOptions=WorkAroundBrokenAAAA in my cf file.

The reply from my public servant is:
