Research direction
Start by reproducing the IPv4 and IPv6 connections with the netcat commands shown, and inspect the mail.python.org service and its Postfix configuration. Done means mail.python.org accepts SMTP connections on port 25 over IPv6 as well as IPv4.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
mail.python.org do have an IPv6 (and an IPv4):
$ dig A +short mail.python.org
188.166.95.178
$ dig AAAA +short mail.python.org
2a03:b0c0:2:d0::71:1
But it does not accept emails on its IPv6 interface:
$ netcat -4 mail.python.org 25
220-mail.python.org ESMTP Postfix
$ netcat -6 mail.python.org 25
