in my hosts file, I have a line that looks like this:

::1                    localhost localhost.mydomain.com


Is this line for IPv6 or is there some other reason for its presence?  It
causes occasional problems, so I commented it out and I kept a similar line
that points to 127.0.0.1

there should be 2 lines
::1                     localhost localhost.my.domain
127.0.0.1               localhost localhost.my.domain



An example of the problems it sometimes causes is that if I telnet to
localhost at port 25 I get this:

Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
