Best to remove IP version dependencies in your configs.

If you are using name-based virtual hosting in Apache, convert:

 Listen a.b.c.d:80         ->  Listen 80
 <Virtualhost a.b.c.d:80>  ->  <Virtualhost *:80>

Use hard-coded IP addresses only where required for stuff like SSL-enabled webhosts.

In postfix just add to main.cf:

 inet_interfaces = all
 inet_protocols = all

And make sure your MX hostnames have AAAA RRs.

One additional note. Add your IPv6 prefixes to mynetworks. The IPv6 prefix should be enclosed in brackets before the prefix length. Ie. the IPv6 loopback would be added as [::1]/128.
