Yeah, unfortunately things like that can happen, v4 or v6 (like I couldn't get to a local TV station's website a little while ago from my home connection, but could from elsewhere). >From your traceroutes, it kind of looks like it's possible that it's something on your gateway (but I'm not really sure). Do you have any IPv6 firewall running there? One other note about mail on v6 - not only do you need to have a valid reverse (with matching forward) DNS record, you probably need to do TLS with a valid cert (Let's Encrypt is free and easy). -- Chris Adams <linux at cmadams.net>
