[BlueOnyx:11368] 5108R IPv6 fun fact

Here's a neat tip.  If you are running an IPv6-enabled network, your 
5108R server may decide to pick up an IPv6 IP address on its own via 
auto-configuration.  Sendmail may then use the IPv6 address to connect 
to other SMTP servers.  If you have not configured a PTR for that IPv6 
address, then the mail sent via IPv6 hosts will tend to bounce as it has 
no reverse DNS.

We haven't seen this behavior on 5106R.

Just thought I'd pass it along.  #LFMF
