No usable MXs when sending to IPv6-only domain

[cuihaoleo]

Describe the bug

Hi, I set up a maddy instance in a podman container. Everything looks good so far. When I test my server with https://email-security-scans.org/, it always fails with IPv6 test. I believe I have setup IPv6 access properly.

One of the failed email addresses is [email protected]. Relevent logs:

[debug] remote: trying        {"domain":"v6-mail.measurement.email-security-scans.org","msg_id":"045b14e1-651e2d3a","remote_server":"mail-v6.measurement.email-security-scans.org."}
[debug] mx_auth.mtasts: MTA-STS error        {"err":"mtasts: no policy"}
remote: cannot use MX        {"domain":"v6-mail.measurement.email-security-scans.org","msg_id":"045b14e1-651e2d3a","reason":"no address associated with the host","remote_server":"mail-v6.measurement.email-security-scans.org.","tls_err":null}

And I can confirm that the container can resolve and connect to the v6-only MX server:

$ sudo podman exec maddy nslookup -type=MX v6-mail.measurement.email-security-scans.org
Server:         185.12.64.1
Address:        185.12.64.1:53

Non-authoritative answer:
v6-mail.measurement.email-security-scans.org    mail exchanger = 10 mail-v6.measurement.email-security-scans.org

$ sudo podman exec maddy nslookup -type=AAAA mail-v6.measurement.email-security-scans.org
Server:         185.12.64.1
Address:        185.12.64.1:53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   mail-v6.measurement.email-security-scans.org
Address: 2a06:d1c0:dead:3::86

$ sudo podman exec maddy nc 2a06:d1c0:dead:3::86 25
220 mail.measurement.email-security-scans.org ESMTP Postfix

Steps to reproduce

Send an email to [email protected]. It will fail.

# Local storage & authentication

# pass_table provides local hashed passwords storage for authentication of
# users. It can be configured to use any "table" module, in default
# configuration a table in SQLite DB is used.
# Table can be replaced to use e.g. a file for passwords. Or pass_table module
# can be replaced altogether to use some external source of credentials (e.g.
# PAM, /etc/shadow file).
#
# If table module supports it (sql_table does) - credentials can be managed
# using 'maddy creds' command.
