As the message says, and I confirm, there is no ipv6 PTR 
record.  Wearing my ISP hat, we do not favor email lacking 
such in our spamassassin rules, and I know that the US ISP 
Comcast also down-rates / refuses email from hosts lacking 
such

[herrold at centos-6 ~]$ host 2600:3c01::f03c:91ff:fe93:4b0d
Host 
	d.0.b.4.3.9.e.f.f.f.1.9.c.3.0.f.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1.0.c.3.0.0.6.2.ip6.arpa 
	not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
[herrold at centos-6 ~]$

I would start by getting it set
