They are also blocking outbound port 587 (submission) which I found out
the hard way when mail was being delayed as Postfix tried IPv6 and timed
out.

When I asked them about it:
"Hi there,

Thanks so much for contacting us regarding SMTP on IPv6. At this time
we've blocked SMTP by default. We suggest using an IPv4 droplet to gain
SMTP access.

The reason behind this is that it's a new feature on DigitalOcean and
we're easing into the roll out of the feature. We appreciate your
understanding on this. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you,
DigitalOcean Support"
