------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2006-12-05 12:40 -------
I may not be a cygwin expert (although now that I have Parallels on my MacBook I
can pretend to be one if I ever get the time) but Google reveals that IPv6
support in CygWin requires an unofficial patch from http://win6.jp/Cygwin/ whose
web server does not seem to be up at the moment and which Google cache quotes
with this scary status report:

"Cygwin/w32api 1.5.21-2 IPv6 extension 0.21 (2006/08/08)

FUTURE PLAN AND CURRENT STATUS:

IPv6 additional code should be contributed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] tree as soon as
possible. However IPv6 code doesn't reach enough to contribute yet. Cygwin
supports most of Win32 environments such as Win95/98/Me. However, there are
still many problems on these environment. Unfortunately current code has bad
effects when running on non-IPv6 environment."

I guess the right thing to do is to conditionalize the spamc source so that it
does not refer to IPv6 when compiled under Cygwin, and then change that someday
when Cygwin does support IPv6. A little better would be to figure out how to
detect Cygwin+patch at compile time.

This still all requires a developer with Cygwin and time to do it.
