is gmail strongly penalizing IPv6 senders?

I don't know if it does - I've found our servers appear to have no problem.

Gmail uses a number of things like SPF etc. to define if something's
Spam. Did you check that this designates the IPv6 address as a permitted
sender? Do your SMTP servers have reverse IPv6 addresses? Do you use
DKIM? Just a few suggestions...

Kind regards,

Olivier
