The requirement in v6 that didn't exist in v4 is that you have to have a
PTR record for your MTA's IPv6 address before Google wants to let you
send SMTP over IPv6.

In IPv4, the absence of a PTR record was taken as a spam signal,
together with all the other spam signals; in IPv6, they decided to just
say "no".
