Summary: spamc now defaults to IPv6 instead of IPv4
Product: Spamassassin
Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P5
Component: spamc/spamd
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
We recently updated the IPv6 support on dogma, our (debian) colo server. Since
then, I've seen the odd message along these lines:
Aug 21 13:53:03 dogma spamc[24722]: connect to spamd on ::1 failed, retrying
(#1 of 3): Connection refused
/etc/hosts looks like:
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
[etc.]
we don't have the necessary modules installed for spamd to listen on IPv6.
looking into it, it appears that getaddrinfo(NULL) will always use the IPv6
loopback addr, "::1", first, which fails (since spamd is not listening), and
then retries using the IPv6 loopback.
spamc should default to 127.0.0.1 unless otherwise specified.
