  Yes. However SMTP these days is almost all just servers exchanging mail, IPv6 support is much less priority.

    How does your MUA sends the message to the server? That's also SMTP.

  They do, but I had to change my mail routing to use IPv4 to gmail because if I connect over IPv6 everything gets categorised as spam.
