Hello Wietse,

I'm aware smpt-sink/source are programs with limited level of support.
I was able to setup listener on IPv4 using -4 OR on IPv6 using -6. That works. 
But the manpage say

  Connections  can  be  accepted  on  IPv4  or  IPv6  endpoints,  or   on
  UNIX-domain  sockets.   IPv4 and IPv6 are the default.

And exactly that default is what I like but can't manage to setup.
Therefore my question...
If I re-read it as "inet is default, UNIX-domain sockets must be specified 
explicit"
it matched the current behavior :-)

Currently I'm fine with two separate instances.

Thanks!
Andreas
