You can write them either way; both are acceptable and the number-base of the dotted-portion gets translated ( .234 does _not_ become :0234 ). But that's ipv6 addresses given to exim, not how they are given to the place you're coding. I think you need to check, given that a colon-to-dot translation has been done by the time it hits you. I'd expect conversion to unabbreviated form to have been done too. -- Cheers, Jeremy -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
