--- Begin Message ---Hello. I received this report from the Debian bug system. In addition to the problem reported, which is a bad default to follow, there is also the additional problem of migrating an already existing database to another one with a wider ip field. Should this be done automatically? At the very minimum, I would write a recipe for that to be put in /usr/share/doc, but only once we decide which is the "right" width. Thanks. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Edwin Top <edwin+b...@dilruacs.nl> To: Debian Bug Tracking System <sub...@bugs.debian.org> Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:50:00 +0100 Subject: Bug#661055: postfix-gld: Greylisting fails for IPv6 because the "ip" field in the database is too short Package: postfix-gld Version: 1.7-3 Severity: important Tags: ipv6 The program fails to match sender MTA's correctly in most cases when an IPv6 address is used. This is because the field "ip" of the table "greylist" in the MySQL Database is only a char(16) in /usr/share/gld/tables.mysql To be able to store IPv6 addresses correctly it should be at least char(39) (8x4 characters plus 7 for the separating ':'). Or, if you want to take into account IPv4 tunneling features it should be able to store e.g. "[0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:192.168.0.1]" and should then be char(45).
