I'm only testing on the one system; Scientific Linux 6 (a Fedora derivative). The coding looking for that dual-use socket is (IMHO) highly dubious. It will false-pos when the IPv4 socket gets a "real" EADDRINUSE. I think I'm getting such - I'm also getting them for the initial (wildcard) socket whether IPv4 or v6. They seem to last 5-10 seconds. The manpage claims IPV6_V6ONLY is supported. Testcase 0561 is my current repeat-by for IPv4; 1001 for IPv6. -- Jeremy -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
