Ah. So it only happens if:
1) Exim 3.32 is compiled with IPv6 support
2) OS does not support IPv6.
Cool!;-).
So how do we want to catch this exception?
Suggestions:
1) Painc and tell the user not to use IPv6 on a non-Ipv6 speaking
OS. I am thinking "Error: What? Can't you see I need IPv6 capable
machine to run IPv6? No bread for you!!" [Or basically give a
better error on what its giving now].
2) Give a warning and continue to work on the IPv4 sockets.
