Its time for an user friendly and time saved IPV6 implementation

[richardvd]

The implementation of IPv6 is a lot of work. DirectAdmin is only prepared for IPv6 but an user friendly and time saved solution is necessary for everyone.

Everyone forget required adjustments like an IPv6 SPF record, or changes in the exim configuration for e.g. There are solutions which can found in the Knowledge Base or forum but that is not enough.

The IPv6 implementation is not complete at all, DirectAdmin has made a good deal of progress. Now it is time to go from an Alpha implementation to Beta.

Thumbs up for Richard. Maybe we can use this topic to address the issues.

Hello,

The main thing on our wishlist relating to IPv6 is IPv6 licensing, which would cover SPF better.
Once the server IP can be IPv6, then it would make this solution simpler.
As the IPv6 isn't expected to be the server IP (since our licensing doesn't yet support it), DA assumes that exim won't be sending from any IPv6 IP..
although, it's been noticed that there are a few cases where IPv6 is used by exim (we're not quite sure why), hence this work around:
