	I think requiring a PTR isn't that high of a bar.  If you're on
a host without support of doing a v6 PTR, you likely aren't on good
hosting location and should relay via a host that does have a v6 PTR.

	I don't care if my phone/ipad/desktop have a PTR, and they
all relay via hosts that are dual-stacked, and require smtp-auth to relay.
They shouldn't be connecting directly to google.
