Add disable_ipv6=true to exim.conf breaks exim

[peps03]

Hi,

When i add disable_ipv6=true to the top of my exim.conf file, and restart Exim, it doesn't start anymore.
When removing this line it will start again.
Using Exim 4.87.

Any ideas why this won't work (anymore)?

Thanks!

Do you have SpamBlocker 4.4 installed on the system? If yes, you will need to use the method mentioned in the 2nd part of the article: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=403 (just use disable_ipv6=true instead of message_size_limit=500M )

No, but i found the problem.
I didn't know i had this file: /etc/exim.variables.conf and second, that "disable_ipv6" is declared there by default.
Changing it here worked.
Thanks!

Hello,

You should use /etc/exim.variables.conf.custom instead.

- [bug] disable_ipv6=true is ignored when added into /etc/exim.variables.conf.custom

Thanks for the heads-up.
But i think this bug is fixed. The 2 servers I tested on are fully updated and the sending ip switched from ip6 to ip4 using the file mentioned above.
