Well, You might want to start reading about IPv6 before you attempt to use it. Just an idea ;) Good on you for trying I guess. And very off topic indeed; your ISP will in all likelyhood assign you with a mind-bogglingly huge amount of IP space, if you read the outline of IPv6 vs IPv4 you will soon realize this. Good luck, Chris

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. /Per Jessen, Zürich

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