when patched for IPv6.  Have you verified that the IPv4 IP is stored
correctly?  Is IPv6 tcpserver supposed to read both IPv4 and IPv6
addresses in the cdb file?

It would probably work correctly, if the incoming address was in IPv4
format, but the local interfaces are talking to eachother using their
IPv6-ized address, so it doesn't match up with the stripped address. Maybe
tcpserver could handle it better, but it seems to be it would be easier to
make vpopmail not strip it. ;)
