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).
