I am not aware of any RBLs which support IPv6 addresses. I do use Exim
with IPv6 and receive a very large percentage of my legitimate email
over IPv6, including that from this mailing-list. So I'm Bcc'ing your
Gmail address, just in case.

Add before the dnslists line this:

  condition     = ${if isip4{$sender_host_address}}

I actually set up the isip4 check early so hadn't noticed any IPv6
problems with the lookup code but it looks suspiciously like
list-separation is happening on the IP address using the default
list-separator of ":"; that would definitely be a bug, if so.
