OK, I see the problem. The error is thrown after invocation of
ip_or_name_to_ip function, defined conditionally:
#v+
# Big Ugly Hack; purpose: don't force requirement on IO::Socket::INET6
BEGIN {
use Socket;
eval {
require IO::Socket::INET6;
require Socket6;
};
if ($@) { # IPv4 only
[...]
else { # IPv4+IPv6
[...]
#v-
Binding to IPv6 sockets works fine after installing
libio-socket-inet6-perl, but without it spamd supports only IPv4.
Maintainer, please look at the attached patch. It adds
libio-socket-inet6-perl to recommends (but suggests may be enough, as
binding to [::1] is quite uncommon setup) and makes "invalid address"
error more verbose (suggests installing libio-socket-inet6-perl for IPv6
support).

Can You confirm, that installing libio-socket-inet6-perl fixes the
problem?
