Most consumer ISPs block port 25 so rDNS would be the least of your problems trying to run a home mail server.

As has been widely reported, Google has recently tightened up authentication requirements so
v4 and v6 are now pretty similar.

They won't accept v6 mail that isn't authenticated with SPF or DKIM
but honestly, if you can't figure out how to publish an SPF record you
shouldn't try to run a mail server.
