Re: [exim] quick question to ipv6 and "not a valid ip addres…

Hi Marius,

by default, exim uses a colon as delimiting character, which needs to be changed like this:

interface = <; 2a02::1 ; 127.0.0.1

See https://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-starting_the_daemon_and_the_use_of_network_interfaces.html and
https://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-the_exim_runtime_configuration_file.html#SECTlistsepchange for details.

hth,
Thomas
