No, it was a bug -- the system in question didn't actually have IPv6
addresses configured and it was failing to deliver mail to
infradead.org, claiming (IIRC) that the highest priority MX host was the
local host. 

I believe the diagnosis was that it interpreted the IPv6-only primary MX
host 'phoenix.ipv6.infradead.org' as if it were the Legacy IP address
0.0.0.0 -- then claimed that it was a local address, and hence the mail
was undeliverable since infradead.org was obviously not configured as a
local domain on that machine.
