Is there a way to avoid that?
If you're using SQL passdb, you could probably return host as either
IPv4 or IPv6 depending on if %l or %r is an IPv4 or IPv6 address?
Other than that I don't really see an easy way to handle this, because
dovecot-auth has to be the one to decide if the proxying should be
done or not, and it doesn't know all the IP addresses the Dovecot
installation is listening on.
Or actually if Dovecot supported multiple proxy hosts it could contain
both the IPv4 and IPv6 address and then Dovecot could check to see if
any of them already matches. But this is pretty low on my TODO list..
Thanks for the answer.
We're using LDAP here for the passdb, so we'll have to live with that
until multiple proxies are implemented.
