Well, I followed Wietse's suggestion: | A workaround is to do the same thing as when local_recipient_maps | was introduced: the inet_protocols built-in default different from | the installed configuration. | | In this case, the built-in default would enable IPv6, while the | post-install installed configuration is IPv4 only (but post-install | would not change an explicit inet_protocols main.cf setting). ...so I hacked the source to change a built-in default value of inet_protocols to "all", and then a main.cf can replace this value with whatever it chooses. I was hoping this approach would make its way into current eventually ... Mark
