Right now our servers aren't accessible through IPv6, except through an
IPv4 tunnel, and I expect that's true for a lot of sites.
Hopefully, domain based reputation services will be better established
before IPv6. By which I mean that I hope domain based reputation services
(which rely on SPF, DKIM, etc) will be effective quite quickly.
I doubt that we'll ever accept email from a domain with AAAA records, but
no A or MX record. I hope that others will also adopt this policy when they
deploy IPv6 capable installations.
