Title:
  Postfix uses temporary IPv6 address for outbound connections

Status in Ubuntu Server Guide:
  New
Status in “postfix” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/13.04/serverguide/postfix.html

  By default IPv6 privacy extensions is installed on Ubuntu server and
  temporary addresses are preferred.

  This means that outgoing connections from Postfix will use the
  temporary IPv6 addresses, which will likely fail reverse DNS checks
  and cause mail to bounce.

  Postfix should implement the requirements of RFC5014 and ensure that
  it sets the IPV6_PREFER_SRC_PUBLIC IPv6 socket option (or possibly
  provide a configuration option to enforce that requirement).
