This is one of them that doesn't work:
imap.ge.xfinity.com.    8       IN      AAAA
2001:558:fc0a:3:f816:3eff:fee8:1979

m at ryz:~$ telnet 2001:558:fc0a:3:f816:3eff:fee8:1979 25
Trying 2001:558:fc0a:3:f816:3eff:fee8:1979...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
m at ryz:~$ 

It is their fault, so tell them instead of disabling IPv6, which is a
very bad idea.
