In practice, the /64 prefix of the IPv6 address has very much the same "administrative" properties as the /32 value of the IPv4 address. It should be fairly straightforward to update a reputation system to manage the /64 prefixes of IPv6. This seems somewhat more practical than trying to change the behavior of mail agent if their connectivity happens to use IPv6.
