Was your mail really sent from 2607:f308:1:1::212? According to DNS,
your primary MX is bear.techie.net, with IP addresses 205.134.185.202
and 2607:f308:1:1::2.

If may be worthwhile to fix the SMTP client IP address with
"smtp_bind_address6 = 2607:f308:1:1::2", at least for off-site
email.

No, it's sent from 2607:f308:1:1::2.  I don't know what the extra spaces + 12 
after the IP address mean in that error report from gmail.

Likely Google sees your address as 2607:f308:1:1::212, but long SMTP replies
get folded across multiple lines, and unfolded with the whitespace you observe.

Here is an example from a few posts ago in this thread, with long
lines broken with backslash-newline for readability.

Note the spaces inside the IPv6 address.

You can convince yourself with tcpdump, or set "smtp_bind_address6
= 2607:f308:1:1::2" and see if that makes a difference.

Again, it would not be the first time that some IPv6 stack grabs
an unexpected IPv6 address.

Okay, so I confirmed with Wireshark that my server is definitely using 2607:f308:1:1::2 and not 2607:f308:1:1::212. In fact, I see this in part of the exchange:

250-mx.google.com at your service, [2607:f308:1:1::2]

So, it remains a mystery as to what that 12 means. Perhaps some sort of code indicating why the message was rejected?
