Great, that's what I was looking for (and didn't find, sorry).

My mailserver supports IPv4 and IPv6.

Background of my question:

One of the bigger email providers in Germany (t-online.de = TOL) started to 
block my IPv4 address. I do assume that this has to do with being blocklisted 
(see  http://www.uceprotect.net/en/rblcheck.php?ipr=135.125.211.209), although 
my IP address isn't blacklisted but the subnet it is member of.

I checked for my IPv6 address, and it isn't blacklisted. Thus I tried to bypass 
TOL's blocking by using IPv6 until I will have been whitelisted by them (what 
happened in the meantime). FTR: It wouldn't have worked because TOL's 
mailservers are IPv4 only.

But it is good to know that smtp_address_preference might help me with other 
ISP blocking my IPv4.

Thank you very much and with kind regards,
Michael
