Summary: configure.default contains outdated default
relay_from_hosts
Product: Exim
Version: N/A
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: medium
Component: Documentation
AssignedTo: nigel@???
ReportedBy: exim-dev@???
CC: exim-dev@???
The configure.default file contains:
hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1
This was fine, before IPv6 became more widespread. With IPv6, a "localhost"
connection to Exim could end up not being included in relay_from_hosts.
The minimal change would be to add ::1 to the list:
hostlist relay_from_hosts = <; 127.0.0.1 ; ::1
but I don't know how that does in an Exim built without IPv6 support.
The more correct change might be:
hostlist relay_from_hosts = @[]
Ie, relay for any of our own IP addreses and stop hard-coding assumptions which
might break if IPv6 support is not compiled in.
