May not be the case here, but I had an issue with my Linode and IPv6
email (not with gmail.com though). If you just "request IPv6", you get
a single /128 out of a common /64. The problem is that most people
doing IPv6 anti-spam treat reputation on at least the /64, not
individual /128s.
You can request a /64 from Linode, no additional charge. I switched to
using my own /64, and I haven't had any issues since. I use Lynx to
look things up in Google sometimes, and was also periodically getting
blocked from that (with a captcha!). Since switching to my own /64, I
haven't had any issue there either.
