Package: postgrey
Version: 1.33-3~bpo60+1
Severity: normal
Tags: ipv6 upstream
With a version of libnet-server-perl which is capable of listening on
IPv6, postgrey does not work. I believe the default configuration in
/etc/default/postgrey includes this line:
POSTGREY_OPTS="--inet=10023"
With no host specified, postgrey translates this to localhost:10023.
This means Net::Server will open an IPv6 socket, if you have localhost
resolve to::1 in /etc/hosts. Regardless of /etc/hosts though, postgrey
should be able to listen on IPv6.
With postgrey listening on IPv6, postfix logs these messages, and then
rejects incoming mail due to server configuration problems (code 451):
2012-01-15T21:57:05.274902-08:00 darwin postfix/smtpd[10610]: warning: connect
to localhost:10023: Connection refused
2012-01-15T21:57:05.274935-08:00 darwin postfix/smtpd[10610]: warning: problem
talking to server localhost:10023: Connection refused
However, strangely, telnet to the postgrey port on IPv6 seems to work fine.
I've looked at postgrey's code, but I don't see why this happens.
