            Bug ID: 1833
           Summary: Exim doesn't find ipv6 adressess when
                    /proc/net/if_inet6 is not available
           Product: Exim
           Version: 4.87
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: medium
         Component: Networking
          Assignee: nigel@???

On our servers the mail user (as which exim runs as) does not have access to
/proc/net/if_inet6 but the current implementation needs this.
I can fix it for myself by adding '#define HAVE_GETIFADDRS' to OS/os.h-Linux so
it looks like at least on my systems getifaddrs "does the right thing" TM
I can't find a reason not to switch to getifaddrs but maybe on very old linuxes
this doesn't work?

Current code seems quite old, it is from commit:
