I spoke with Bill Shupp on his Toaster mailling list about this, and he says that vpopmail strips off the IPv6 portion of the address, leaving just the IPv4 compatible bit at the end. (Having read the code, I've have to agree with this) The problem happens because vpopmail then stores this IPv4-ized address in the tcprules file, and when tcpserver tries to authorize an address against the rules, it can't find a match, since it is checking the IPv6 version of the address (This is assuming the 'remote' host is using an IPv6 address.)
