Hello Postfix Group,

When attempting to send an email to a particular domain,lowlypalace.io, postfix 
only gets the ipv6 address and does not fall back to the ipv4 address. For 
example;

status=deferred (connect to aspmx2.googlemail.com[2607:f8b0:4001:c08::1a]:25: 
Network is unreachable)

There is no second attempt for the ipv4 address, although it is resolvable from 
the mail server;

  ping alt2.aspmx.l.google.com
PING alt2.aspmx.l.google.com (173.194.219.26) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from ya-in-f26.1e100.net (173.194.219.26): icmp_req=1 ttl=39 time=65.7 
ms
64 bytes from ya-in-f26.1e100.net (173.194.219.26): icmp_req=2 ttl=39 time=65.7 
ms

Interestingly, I see gmail addresses working when the ipv6 ip is not reachable;

Nov 14 11:24:33 mail postfix/qmgr[2760]: 144DB21408CA: from=<u...@domain.com>, 
size=151283, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Nov 14 11:24:33 mail postfix/smtp[2587]: connect to 
gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[2607:f8b0:400e:c02::1a]:25: Network is unreachable
Nov 14 11:24:34 mail postfix/smtp[2587]: 144DB21408CA: to=<u...@gmail.com>, 
relay=gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[74.125.199.27]:25, delay=1.4, 
delays=0.04/0.06/0.59/0.72, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 OK 1479151474 
z63si23334266pff.293 - gsmtp)
<snip>


Is there anything I need to change in postfix to help resolve this?

Thank you,

James
