Package: exim4 Version: 4.72-3 Severity: important Hello,
Nowadays, the exim4 package enables listening on ipv6 by default: /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf: dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1 ; ::1' However, this fails when the kernel does not support ipv6 (or it was disabled thanks to ipv6.disable=1 or disable_ipv6=1): 2011-01-24 00:54:28 IPv6 socket creation failed: No such file or directory and if I retry to start, as well as further retries: 2011-01-24 00:55:28 IPv6 socket creation failed: Address family not supported by protocol exim4 should probably not completely fail when such EAFNOSUPPORT error is returned.
