I know exim does, but does the version that comes with directadmin support it, i.e was it complied with ipv6 enabled.


after putting in the local_interfaces I get

2009-08-04 21:53:54 socket bind() to port 25 for address (any IPv6) failed: Invalid argument: waiting 30s before trying again (9 more tries)

any ideas?

More then likely it was not you will have to email directadmin support and ask.

Hello,

I don't recall adding any special code to exim for ipv6, so if you need ipv6, you'd have to add it to exim yourself.

This it the guide to compile exim:
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=125

So edit the Local/Makefile as required to setup ipv6 in exim.
I've never personally done it, so am not yet farmiliar with how exim does it.

Hi

I have fixed it, it seems for somereason when I was doing it before it didnt overwrite the exim file in /usr/sbin/exim
I copied the build exim ipv6 file over ipv4 one at /usr/sbin/exim and its now IPv6 enabled

Thanks
