Even disregarding RFC3513, is an IPv6-enabled kernel without an IPv6
address on lo0 a realistic configuration for a "real" FreeBSD system?
If not, I'd think it worthwhile to make pointyhat more realistic.
(Either way, it seems unobjectionable to improve the robustness of
postfix, making it more liberal in what it accepts.)

It may be a bit late in the 9.0 release cycle to be messing with the
pointyhat configuration, but an adjustment might be considered after
9.0-RELEASE is done.
