 I just assigned  records to my DNS, and spamc/spamd fails.
 
 I have a DNS alias spamd for a server.
 
 jarif@lancaster:~$ host spamd
 spamd.fredriksson.dy.fi is an alias for lancaster.fredriksson.dy.fi.
 lancaster.fredriksson.dy.fi has address 10.123.29.113
 lancaster.fredriksson.dy.fi has IPv6 address fe80::20c:29ff:fe28:8af
 
 Now my log is filled with
 
 Jan 15 21:46:42 lancaster spamc[17968]: connect to spamd on
 fe80::20c:29ff:fe28:8af failed, retrying (#16 of 100): Invalid
 argument
 
 Any ideas?

The fe80: address is link-local, to use it you have to specify the
interface as well.  In a browser, you could do that like this:

http://[fe80::20c:29ff:fe28:8af%eth0]

You could try the same syntax with spamc - the %device is a glibc
extension, it might work.

However, it does depend on spamc being ipv6-ready, which means using
getaddrinfo() - I don't know if spamc does that.
