Under Sid, exim is failing with "IPv6 socket creation failed: Invalid argument" when started via /etc/init.d/exim start or from command line as follows.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:log]$ exim -d -bd -q5m Exim version 3.32 debug level 1 uid=0 gid=0 Berkeley DB: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 2.7.7: (08/20/99) LOG: 0 PANIC DIE IPv6 socket creation failed: Invalid argument I've noticed this intermittently since August 12. I believe an associated procmail/fetchmail problem may be related. Hmm...looks like the '-bd' flag may be doing it. This was a recent /etc/init.d/exim change. My old exim SysV init file doesn't have this flag. Anyone else seeing same? Package info?
