There's a 'bare' ::1 where [::1] is needed.
To find these in main.cf or master.cf:
postconf | grep '[^[]::1'
postconf -P | grep '[^[]::1'
The 'bare' ::1 may also appear in a /file/name that is referenced
by mynetworks or by some other Postfix feature. There's no simple
grep command for that.
ah. didn't clue in that that error suggests 'bare' IPv6 :-/
grep'ing, found bare '::1' in both
smtpd_authorized_xclient_hosts
smtpd_authorized_xforward_hosts
in docs,
Note: IP version 6 address information must be specified inside [] in the
smtpd_authorized_xclient_hosts value, and in files specified with "/file/name". IP version 6
addresses contain the ":" character, and would otherwise be confused with a "type:table"
pattern.
i'd taken care of 'mynetworks', but not those.
i'd searched on the error-referenced "type:name" _in_ the docs, but the
'smtpd_authorized_xclient_hosts' & 'smtpd_authorized_xforward_hosts' entries @
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html mention "type:table" rather than "type:name".
now that I know, it's not an issue for me; if practical, could be useful for others
to tie the error to the docs' " ...
mail's flowing again, now _with_ IPv6 in place.
thanks!
