So I just ran nfsen on our last month of IPv6 traffic and see there
is around 40,000 flows on our MXes for around 200MB of data, and
around 400 different flow endpoints, of which 24 are 6to4 prefixes.

A small proportion of internal flows may be included in those numbers,
but around 1000 IPv6 transport mails in per day wouldn't be far out.

In comparison I believe we have around 500K IPv4 SMTP connections inbound 
per day, of which less than 20% are deemed 'wanted' mail.
