We've encountered an issue where google has blocked the entire /32 of the IPv6 range at our VPS where PMG lives. We've reached out to them, and they've said it isn't their issue. IPV6 was previously working correctly for sending and receiving mail.

I can disable IPV6 with:
Code:
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1

but this disables receiving mail via IPv6 as well which is causing some mail delivery delays since most mail servers are sending to us that way.

Is there a way I can disable IPv6 for relaying/sending mail only, and still allow postfix to receive email with IPv6?

If not, hopefully the problem will just resolve as the internet figures out that we aren't using ipv6 for now...

Thanks!
