Hi,
Fernando Gozalo:
Hi,
does the postfix smtp client implement the IPv6 to IPv4 fallback
mechanism as browsers do?
Postfix implements the MX fallback strategy as defined in the SMTP
RFC (5321). In addition, Postfix implements this:
smtp_address_preference (default: any)
The address type ("ipv6", "ipv4" or "any") that the Postfix SMTP client
will try first, when a destination has IPv6 and IPv4 addresses with
equal MX preference. This feature has no effect unless the inet_proto-
cols setting enables both IPv4 and IPv6. With Postfix 2.8 the default
is "ipv6".
This feature is available in Postfix 2.8 and later.

It works with 1 mx with A and AAAA records.
It didn't work with 2 mx with both A and AAAA records
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=813863).

Un saludo.
Fernando.
