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@???
Reporter: sander@???
CC: exim-dev@???
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:
