My only issue in the last 2 years was with Gmail, which I eventually discovered on accident was apparently because of my lack of appropriate ipv6 records in my SPF tag.

I didn't catch it for a while because so much of the email world simply assumes ipv4, but traffic happily exits my ipv6 interface when the destination supports it.



Gmail now also requires IPv6 rDNS for inbound mail servers - that caught me out for a few days when it was implemented.

Not a problem with a good ISP but many retail ISPs don't have a process for maintaining rDNS to arbitrary blocks held by subscribers.
