So, if you are connecting via IPv6, SPF implmentations are supposed to
look up AAAA records when they find an "a:" mechanism.  (Actually,
they also need to do that for "mx" too.)

Ah - important test case for pyspf.  

Questions,

If the SMTP server is listening on IPv4 only, this case will never come
up, correct?

Therefore, the AAAA feature will be triggered when the connect ip is an
IPv6 address.
