Summary: Sending e-mail via the SMTP transport with IPv6 is
broken
Product: kmail
Version: unspecified
Platform: OpenBSD Packages
OS/Version: OpenBSD
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: brad comstyle com
Version: (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from: OpenBSD Packages
Compiler: GCC 3.3.5
OS: OpenBSD
Configuring an SMTP transport to use a FQDN which has an AAAA DNS record
results in KMail attempting to connect to the SMTP server and immediately
disconnecting with a dialog box popping up saying "Sending failed: The
process for the smtp://[server name] protocol died unexpectedly" and the
message is not sent. If I configure the SMTP transport with the IPv6 address
KMail does not even attempt to connect to the server and fails immediately with
an error message of "Sending failed: Could not connect to host [IPv6 address]".
The server side shows the following for the initial connection described
above...
Apr 3 00:31:06 speedy postfix/smtpd[8090]: connect from
booyah.home.comstyle.com[2001:470:8802:3:216:41ff:fe17:6933]
Apr 3 00:31:06 speedy postfix/smtpd[8090]: lost connection after CONNECT from
booyah.home.comstyle.com[2001:470:8802:3:216:41ff:fe17:6933]
Apr 3 00:31:06 speedy postfix/smtpd[8090]: disconnect from
booyah.home.comstyle.com[2001:470:8802:3:216:41ff:fe17:6933]
POP3 and IMAP work fine for retrieving e-mail from the server. Other MUAs with
IPv6 support are able to send mail via this server and with IPv6 in general.
