What is a "rogue webserver" ?
A web server belonging to "bad guys", or hacked by them, that runs code using the found IPs to attack them.
As for finding addresses in mails, they are typically random. By default in openSUSE. See "IPv6 privacy extensions".
But if you want to make use of things like VoIP you would need a fixed address, non private, because you do want to do things needing being accessible. You get both type of addresses for a computer? How know applications which one to use? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
