IF you want to use IPv6 address syntax in inet_interfaces or elsewhere,
THEN you must enable IPv6 protocol support in main.cf or master.cf
with inet_protocols=all, inet_protocols=ipv4,ipv6, or inet_protocols=ipv6.
I hope this clarifies that there is no contradiction or inconsistency
in the manner that Postfix IPv6 protocol support works.
