Trying to install postfix on an IPv6-only host
FreeBSD 9.0B1, http://wiki.freebsd.org/IPv6Only
ports: mail/postfix-current,
but the installation chokes in the post-install phase.
Running that failing command manually (in the ports work directory)
gives:
# bin/postfix -v post-install
postfix: name_mask: ipv4
postfix: name_mask: host
postfix: inet_addr_local: configured 0 IPv4 addresses
postfix: fatal: could not find any active network interfaces
# ifconfig

While it may not currently be of much use to have a MX without
an IPv4 address, it still does make sense to have such mailer
on the intranet. Suggestions for a solution?
