Sorry, yes, that's what I meant. What I think would be ideal is a single main section config entry to disable all ipv6 support. > Of course, the hard-line approach is "If you don't want IPv6 > facilities, why are you running an Exim binary that was compiled with > IPv6 support?" But, sigh, I can see why people get into that > situation... Well, in my case, it's because that's how my distro compiled it. Given that a couple hacks are adequate to turn it off, I have everything working just fine, and see no need to recompile. As far as I'm concerned, the only outstanding issue here is a documentation/clarity one; the three config settings required to disable ipv6 support (if you count local_interfaces) are not all that obvious to people who don't know what they're looking for, as this thread can attest. A single setting would simplify things for newbies. - Marc -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
