Package: nullmailer
Version: 1:1.00-3
Severity: important

Hi,

Thanks for including my IPv6 patch...the only problem is that for some
reason I do not think it was enabled in the binary (i386) release :(

Using 1.00-3 from unstable in /var/log/mail.log I get (my mailserver is
'smtp'):

---
Nov 20 17:21:59 localhost nullmailer[9886]: smtp: Failed: Connect failed
Nov 20 17:21:59 localhost nullmailer[1827]: Sending failed:  Host or network 
unreachable
---

If I 'apt-get source nullmailer' and compile I get:

---
Nov 20 17:23:57 localhost nullmailer[1827]: Starting delivery: protocol:smtp 
host: smtp file: 1132407134.3602
Nov 20 17:23:59 localhost nullmailer[10058]: smtp: Failed: 554 <[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]>: Relay access denied
Nov 20 17:23:59 localhost nullmailer[1827]: Sending failed:  Permanent error in 
sending the message
---

Obviously now a completely different error message, but now the fault
lies with me and a misconfigured mailserver :)

I'm on a 100% IPv6 network and so I'm guessing that the binary release
is making an IPv4 only connection and thats why it is sulking.  As
/usr/lib/nullmailer/smtp is rather quick, I cannot attach an 'strace' to
the process to put proof to this but I think the recompile from source
shows that somethings afoot.

When you compile the package, does './configure' come back with:

----
[snipped]
checking whether named pipes are buggy... no
checking for setenv... yes
checking for srandom... yes
checking for getaddrinfo... yes     <---- important line
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
[snipped]
----

Thats the line which 'enables' IPv6 connectivity.

Cheers

Alex
