Public bug reported: By default IPv6 privacy extensions is installed on Ubuntu server and temporary addresses are preferred.
This means that outgoing connections from Postfix will use the temporary IPv6 addresses, which will likely fail reverse DNS checks and cause mail to bounce. Postfix should implement the requirements of RFC5014 and ensure that it sets the IPV6_PREFER_SRC_PUBLIC IPv6 socket option (or possibly provide a configuration option to enforce that requirement).
