O.K. I had a quick look what relay6 is. The answer that I found is a tcp bouncer. It is windows software, so I cannot do anything with it.
What a tcp bouncer does is more or less what I expected.
The way you use it ia as a many to one relay. Connections from many IPv6 addresses connect to a defined port and are relayed to a single ipv4 address/port, that happens to reside on your internal network.
For outgoing traffic you want to go the otherway. But there is no way you can declare a tool where you go from one to many.
If you want to make one connection, you just make sure that you declare an inside port and relay that port to an outside IPv6/port. You still have the problem that you have to tell your mailer not to connect to the adress DNS gives, but to the ipv4 address where the relay resides, you can do some address spoofing there.
If you want to make connections to other outside addresses, you have to add relay rules. A relay rule is fixed to a port number, so you have to use a different port number.
Lukily, there are not to many IPv6 nodes at the moment, so it can be done. You make a rule to reach Michiel, one for Wilfred, one for me, etc. Of course you have to tell the mailer we are on a different port. You have a Gui there, so that should be easy. ;)
I did not say it would be user friendly. ;))
I hope this is sufficiently clear.
