hi,

as you will know IPv4 reaches end of life. There are some transition
mechanisms available to migrate to IPv6. One of them is NAT64 / SIIT (
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6146, https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7755)

If you see in the RFC7755 there is a translation from IPv4 to an IPv6 /96,

All this works also fine with exim. But you can't use the RBL checks anymore.
Cause the exim behind NAT64/ SIIT sees only the translatet ipv6. The
translation is:

64:ff9b::194.97.1.21 --> 64:ff9b::c261:115

If the user uses 64:ff9b::/96 for translation.

It would be nice If you could implement a config flag like:

behind_nat64 = true ( default false)
nat64_prefix = 64:ff9b::/96 (default 64:ff9b::/96 see
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6052)

And if behind_nat64 = True translate the IPV6 to IPv4 for RBL Checks...
