Qmail IPv6 support
Does qmail supports IPv6?
Qmail does not support IPv6 by default. The development of qmail has ended around 2003.
How can I use IPv6 transport with qmail?
There is a tool called qsmtp that replaces SMTP programs of qmail and supports IPv6 with tons of patches. You have to change your startup scripts to use Qsmtpd instead of qmail-smtpd and everything will work as before (but you will get some new features). Be careful: Qsmtpd does only look at the standard tcpserver environment variables, setting RELAYCLIENT will not work. You can use /var/qmail/control/relayclients and /var/qmail/control/relayclients6 to get the same behaviour
Qsmtp installation
What do I need to install Qsmtp?
- IPv6 capable system (no need to have an IPv6 address or IPv6 support in kernel, but libc must know inet_pton, IN6_IS_ADDR_V4MAPPED and basic and extended IPv6 API)
Then you need the Qsmtp:
How can I install Qmstp?
Follow the installation instruction inf Qsmtp package in doc/INSTALL.
