What i meant was, that it is accepable (in terms of *okay*) to use a IPv4-only service as long as 99,x percent of all email receivers worldwide do not want to accept emails via IPv6. You could still consider yourself as early adopter, if you start to send emails via IPv6 if ~5% of all recipients accept inbound emails via IPv6.
The oldest entries in my IPv6 spam blocklist are more than 10 years old. It is a sad comment on the state of our industry if 10 years after spam was clearly flowing, someone receiving email over IPv6 is still considered an 'early adopter'. No doubt Gert is an early adopter, but that should not have been relevant at this time.
