Not supported yet :)

Not that it's hard to add, but
a) if you receive spam over IPv6, let me know :)
b) writing the code without IPv6 or any debugging just to say I support
IPv6, doesn't seem that great
c) the IPv4 code gives you the option to treat everyone on a /24 the same
(i.e. if you greylist someone within a /24, you'll accept mail from them
if it comes from another IP within that /24).
I honestly have no idea what collapsing I ought to do for IPv6

I take patches though :)

(I'm hoping to release a new version with greylisting as a SA 3.0 plugin,
pretty soon)
