Thank you for a helpful response, unfortunately we are a small
organization and I am the sole system admin. I therefore cannot mount a
crusade to change the major ISPs. In any event we are allocated static
ipv4 ips from our multiple ISPs. We administer them through a third
party DNS host who does not routinely provide ipv6 ptr records..
I was able to overcome the problem with our outgoing postfix server at
one site by forcing ipv4 connections to some domains.
We send all of our incoming email to a central site with a domain wide
MX record and handle it via an exim4 server on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
Unfortunately since I manage the entire operation I only very
occasionally need to deal with our email server which has been in place
for many years and is upgraded when Ubuntu comes out with updates or a
new LTS version. I am therefore not really familiar with configuring exim4.
How would one implement your suggestion in an Ubuntu/Debian server?
The git hub link I provided in my original post also seems a valid
approach, but Again, I'm not sure how to implement it in a Debian/Ubuntu
environment.
Please be gentle.
One way:
dns_ipv4_lookup
domain list; lookup only A-records for these domains, not AAAA also.
eg:
dns_ipv4_lookup = gmail.co
(of course, subject to G moving their MX's around).
