[9.270-6][ANSWERED] Please add SMTP IPv6 outgoing support

rsc
Please add IPv6 support on outgoing SMTP.

Currently IPv4 is preferred, according to the exim configuration: 

/var/chroot-smtp/etc/exim.conf



disable_ipv6 = IPV6_DISABLE

prefer_ipv4 = IPV6_PREFER_IPV4



/var/chroot-smtp/etc/exim.conf.includes/macros



IPV6_DISABLE=false

IPV6_PREFER_IPV4=true


This should be changed in dependency to "Interfaces & Routing => IPv6"
If "IPv6 status" is on, then /var/chroot-smtp/etc/exim.conf.includes/macros should include 

IPV6_PREFER_IPV4=false

    Hi,

    there's a Confd switch which is not accessible from the UI that signals to prefer IPv6 globally:
    asg:/root # cc get ipv6 prefer

    You can change it with:
    asg:/root # cc set ipv6 prefer 1


    This should enable preference for IPv6 for Exim. But be aware that other services also check this flag, for example WAF will also be affected!

    Regards,
    Benjamin
