wernerfred 724fe72d20 docs: Update metadata and links to new locations
Also removed the FAQ inline heading link for Rancher. It's not a relevant link (as the question already expects knowledge of Rancher), and breaks out of the bg colour heading style due to the HTML generation logic from mkdocs.

title: 'Advanced | IPv6'
---
## Background
If your container host supports IPv6, then `docker-mailserver` will automatically accept IPv6 connections by way of the docker host's IPv6. However, incoming mail will fail SPF checks because they will appear to come from the IPv4 gateway that docker is using to proxy the IPv6 connection (`172.20.0.1` is the gateway).
This can be solved by supporting IPv6 connections all the way to the `docker-mailserver` container.
