Package: exim
Version: 3.36-4
Severity: normal
If the kernel has IPv6 support enabled, and exim is started as a
daemon without any "local_interfaces" line (as in the default Debian
configuration), it tries to bind to both IPv6 and IPv4 "any address".
This fails on Linux, because listening on IPv6 "any address" means
listening on IPv4 any address, too, with the same socket. Hence, the
IPv4 bind Exim tries to do fails. Putting a line:
local_interfaces = <; ::
gives the expected behaviour: Listen for connections on any address,
IPv6 and IPv4.
AFAIK, this behaviour (IPv6 bind listens also for IPv4 addresses) is
Linux-specific. Other platforms may need the double bind.

The exim package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.
For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/420191 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
