I did a ltrace. The most interesting part is:
17:24:01 gethostbyname2(0x080bc0d8, 10, 0xbffff30c, 0x0807b8f2, 0x40177988) = 0
^^
17:25:22 gethostbyname2(0x080bc0d8, 2, 0xbffff30c, 0x0807b8f2, 0x40177988) = 0x401779f8
^^^^^
from libc.info:
- Function: struct hostent * gethostbyname2 (const char *NAME, int AF)
The `gethostbyname2' function is like `gethostbyname', but allows
the caller to specify the desired address family (e.g. `AF_INET'
or `AF_INET6') for the result.
from /usr/include/linux/socket.h:
#define AF_INET 2 /* Internet IP Protocol */
#define AF_INET6 10 /* IP version 6 */
No wonder that nameservers don't feel like replying to that querries.
Apparently Debian's exim was compiled with IPv6 support :-\ Aliasing
net-pf-10 to off didn't help.
Now please tell me how to disable IPv6 support without recompiling exim?
