You could set up a single server with v6support, test, and not worry about it affecting production.If I read the thread so far correctly, Igor can't enable a single server with v6, because the instant he updates the DNS so an MX for his domain references a AAAA, that will become the preferred target for his domain from the entire IPv6 world, and he's gonna need a load balancer from Day 0.
Sounds fair enough to me.The other mode would be to set up mail.ipv6.yahoo.com and have customers use that for whatever protocol they send/receive mail with, and not point an MX at an AAAA for the time being. However, that means that you can't simply turn it off if it becomes a problem (although, you could switch the AAAA out for an A), and when you end up being able to do a "proper" IPv6 deployment you end up with customers still caring about this legacy DNS entry. That, in short, sounds painful.
