Hi misc@, long time no see (and please CC me),

In smtpd.conf, the "limit mta" line can be qualified like this:

limit mta for domain gmail.com inet4

which I did because I recently started getting bounces from google saying

550-5.7.1 [2001:19f0:5001:2f5:5400:ff:fe77:861d] Our system has detected that 
this message does not meet IPv6 sending guidelines regarding PTR records and 
authentication. Please review  https://support.google.com/mail/?p=IPv6AuthError 
for more information . d63si3145626edc.222 - gsmtp

I think they started prioritizing their AAAA (IPv6) records over their A (IPv4) 
DNS records, so now opensmtpd is preferring to use IPv6. I tried a bit but I 
don't really know what they're mad about, and whatever, I don't want to fight 
them, I just want my mail to get through.

That limit line fixed it for gmail.com, but now I have a new problem: the huge 
number of domains that are actually hosted on smtp.gmail.com. I am wondering if 
there is some way to express "use IPv4 if the mail *server* is gmail" instead 
of "if the mail *domain* is gmail". Something like:

limit mta for mx smtp.gmail.com inet4

Right now I'm stuck enumerating all Google Apps for Business accounts I know of 
and adding a line for each.
