Ok - indeed.

I tried to put disable_ipv6 = true in /etc/exim4.conf.template, and then
do a update-exim4.conf, but I does not know that option:

2014-04-17 20:24:17 Exim configuration error in line 887 of
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp:
option "disable_ipv6" unknown

I also tried to manually add it to
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp which of course led to the same
result.

So, "disable_ipv6=true" is not right.
Though I see here
(http://wordgraphs.com/post/5500/Gmail-error--Our-system-has-detected-that-this-550-5-7-1-message-is-likely-unsolicited-mail)
and here (http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1374) that people are
using it.

What's the right syntax for that command please? I have been unable to
see it in the doc...
