I think that if none of the hosts listed in the additional section is reachable, exim should explicitly query for AAAA and A to make sure to catch even the hosts that are not listed in the additional section. This is, btw, not an ipv6 issue exclusively, it might happen in ipv4-only setups as well. See Debian Bug #342619 for another example. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
