Well, for SMTP, "domain equivalent" addresses have square brackets around them: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Illegal [EMAIL PROTECTED] Good Which might work for port numbers using something like: [127.0.0.1]:25 [::1]:587 Until such time IPv8 introduces [] into the address specification. Sendmail uses a similar format with a prefix for IPv6: FEATURE(`msp', `[IPv6:::1]') _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
