So you've flipped from v4 not working to v6 not working?  Do you have
working IPv6 for other services?  Are you forcing sendmail to use IPv6
for this, or just letting it use what works?

This sounds like either a local network issue or possibly a problem with
your service provider.

The situation now:

mtr --tcp -P 587 -4 smtp.gmail.com

is OK.

mtr --tcp -P 587 -6 smtp.gmail.com

returns:

mtr: udp socket connect failed: Network is unreachable

mtr --tcp -P 587 smtp.gmail.com (no IPv specified)

is OK.

ip -6 route

does not have "default" entry.

ip -6 neigh

returns all entries "STALE", no "REACHABLE".

I tried to add the default route to the IPv6 with

ip -6 route add default via fe80::xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx dev enp42s0

where fe80::xxxx:xxxx.... was the actual router address.

After that there was change:

1.
mtr --tcp -P 587 -6 smtp.gmail.com

returned

1. No route to host (instead of Network unreachable)

and

2.
My QEMU/KVM Win11 machine's networking went completely haywire and I had to reboot the whole thing to get it back.

So what now?

Thanks
Frank
