Bug ID: 1644
Summary: problem with parsing colons in IPv6 addresses
Product: Exim
Version: 4.83
Hardware: x86
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: medium
Component: General execution
Assignee: ni...@exim.org
Reporter: ta...@morganprice.net
CC: exim-dev@exim.org
I used/modified the instructions at the following forum in order to set the
smtp_banner and helo_data per virtual smtp server rather than get it from
/etc/hostname for all virtual smtp servers that operate on multiple IP
addresses on a single server:
http://forum.directadmin.com/showthread.php?t=50399
Interestingly, this only works for IPv4 and not IPv6. The reason is that the
format of IPv6 addresses contains colons that conflict with the required
syntax:
IPv4 works, e.g.
x.x.x.x: example.com
example.com: x.x.x.x
IPv6 doesn't work, e.g.
2001:xxxx:xx:xxx::114: example.com
example.com: 2001:xxxx:xx:xxx::114
If this functionality is going to be used with IPv6, it's going to need some
way to work around the problem, it seems. Any solutions for this?
Thanks!
