Well of COURSE it's not supported :> Exim can only use protocols that are
available to the kernel. If you're kernel doesn't support IPv6, neither does
Exim :>
I use Exim on RedHat 7.1 Linux with a custom compiled kernel also. If I boot
the kernel WITH IPv6 support then Exim's IPv6 support seems ok (have not
tested besides loading Exim). If I boot the kernel WITHOUT IPv6 support, It
gives me the same error :>
