root@acme: ~# ip6addrctl Prefix Prec Label Use ::ffff:0.0.0.0/96 50 0 0 ::1/128 40 1 0 ::/0 30 2 72866 2002::/16 20 3 4 ::/96 10 4 0 Gah! I remember having to set ip6addrctl_policy="ipv6_prefer" on another system that I upgraded to 9.x a long time ago. After setting this, it now looks like this: root@acme: ~# ip6addrctl Prefix Prec Label Use ::1/128 50 0 0 ::/0 40 1 0 2002::/16 30 2 0 ::/96 20 3 0 ::ffff:0.0.0.0/96 10 4 0 And even sendmail is happily finding the sockets to bind to. Thanks for the hint! The bigger question now is, why don't we want to have a working IPv6 out of the box?
