Package: exim Version: 3.36-13 Severity: normal When an IPv6 subnet is included in the "host_accept_relay" option Exim reports an error in the logfile and does not accept relaying from this subnet.
I have the following line in my exim.conf to accept relaying from the machines in my local network: host_accept_relay = 127.0.0.1/8 : ::::1 : 192.168.0.1/24 : 2001:838:3f7::1/64 The last part (2001:838:3f7::1/64) causes the following message to be displayed in the logfile: 2005-01-16 15:12:30 Setting IPV6_V6ONLY on daemon's IPv6 wildcard socket failed (Invalid argument): carrying on without it As a result of this Exim does not accept relaying from the IPv6 subnet. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages exim depends on: ii cron 3.0pl1-86 management of regular background p ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb3 3.2.9-20 Berkeley v3 Database Libraries [ru ii libident 0.22-2.2 simple RFC1413 client library - ru ii libldap2 2.1.30-3 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpam0g 0.76-22 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpcre3 4.5-1.1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
