Even that is unlikely since, if the same mail server is used for
IPv4 and IPv6 transport, the MX would not change ... one would
merely need to add an AAAA RR for the same host to the
presumably-existing A RR.   A hosting provider who would not let
one do that is, almost by definition, not providing IPv6
support, which is not an SMPT problem.
