Hello mark,

Ah, one of your exotic scenarios... ;-) I suppose such a setup is possible, binkd can be configured to listen only on IPv6 or IPv4 (listen [::] or listen 0.0.0.0) and it can be forced to only make IPv6 or IPv4 outgoing call with the -6 or -4 option for every node and the default line in the config. But I see no added value for such a complication in the setup, I do not know of any IPv6 capable node set up this way and it is certainly not something one would expect from a beginner in the IPv6 environment.

In case of a system with native IPv6 it is almost always either a firewall problem or a version of the mailer that does not support IPv6. So those are the first things to look at.

Whatever. Het got it fixed already. I have no feedback yet as to the nature of the problem, but if I were to put my money where my mouth is, your scenario is not what I'd put my money on.

Firewall is nr one on my list, IPv4 only binkd version second.


Cheers, Michiel
