No not really, maybe with more information you will understand... or not...

Yes it is in that module per my example....

Run your example on Linux and see first hand for yourself. You can clearly see 
the error messages there. Which I ran into the same with my small perl example 
showing the issue. If you ran your test case on Linux vs FreeBSD you would 
likely have run into the same issue as I did. Go find out for yourself.

I will try with just [::] vs both IPv4 and IPv6 wildcard. However I bet it 
will just listen on IPv6 and NOT IPv4. Really some what pointless to try that 
as I know the outcome already...

Also you realize that goes against your previous examples right? Your test 
perl showed both 0.0.0.0 and [::] Why would that be necessary if your implied 
[::] works for both IPv4 and IPv6? Fact is it does not thus you need to bind 
and listen to both to fully support both protocols.

Using [::] for IPv4 is just flat out wrong.

Anything else needs to bind to them independently, for example

/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

 A comma separated list of IPs or hosts where to listen in for connections.
# "*" listens in all IPv4 interfaces, "::" listens in all IPv6 interfaces.
# If you want to specify non-default ports or anything more complex,
# edit conf.d/master.conf.
listen = *,[::]

You can clearly see * is used for IPv4, and [::] is used for IPv6.

That is because IPv6 can support IPv4, IPv4 in IPv6, ::ffff:0.0.0.0/96.

Which that can be disabled, so its not something to rely upon.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3493#section-5.3


Understand it is NOT listening on 0.0.0.0:22, which your netstat clearly 
shows. That is a misunderstanding of how IPv6 works. Also you have to confirm 
you are using a IPv4 address to connect to 0.0.0.0:22. I bet if you use a IPv4 
to connect to port 22 you cannot as it is not listening on that port. If you 
use a IPv4 address to connect to something listening on a IPv6 wildcard, your 
using IPv4 in IPv6 to make that work.
