I added "FE80::/10" as an authorized address for my smtp server, and
it appears that James ignores it.
The question I have, however, is whether "FE80::/10" is the correct
way to express link-local address space. I think it is, but I've
never used the IPv6 notation before.

Well, I think James is operating correctly.
It seems to support IPv6 and it probably binds to the default IP
for the
machine that seems to be "fe80:0:0:0:230:65ff:febf:2988".
BTW, a bug could be somewhere near: are you able to specify Authorized
addresses in the Ipv6 form?

I have been experiencing some strange behavior in the james
smtp server running on OS X (10.3.9).
Beginning early this month, I started getting intermittent
relay rejections because computers on my local network were
not recognized as having an authorized address.
At that time, smtpserver log messages changed from something
like this:
"smtpserver-[..] INFO smtpserver: Connection from
192.168.1.56 (192.168.1.56)"
to this:
"smtpserver-[..] INFO smtpserver: Connection from
topeka.local (fe80:0:0:0:230:65ff:febf:2988)"
The string inside the parentheses is the contents of the
remoteIP data member in the SMTPHandler class. It has changed
from something meaningful to James (eg. 192.168.1.56) to
jibberish (eg.
fe80:0:0:0:230:65ff:febf:2988).
After doing some digging, I figured out that
"fe80:0:0:0:230:65ff:febf:2988" is an IPv6 address. I made
the problem go away by disabling IPv6 in the James host
machine. It had been set to configure itself automatically.
So is this a bug in James? Should it matter to James that
IPv6 is enabled on its host machine?
