exim failing due to lack of IPv6 support?

You having trouble getting exim to startup?

Getting these messages in the log(/var/log/exim/main.log)?

Give this a shot:

sudo vi /etc/exim/exim.conf

Change as follows:


#local_interfaces = <; 127.0.0.1 ; ::1
local_interfaces = <; 127.0.0.1

This will prevent the daemon from trying to attach to the IPv6 loopback.

Check the exim log:

All good!
