897 (which is a list of default ports to use for those items in local_interfaces
898 that do not specify a port). The -oX command line option can be used to
899 override one or both of these options.
901 If local_interfaces is not set, the default is to listen on all interfaces.
902 When it is set, it can include "all IPvx interfaces" as an item. This is useful
903 when different ports are in use.
905 It turns out that listening on all interfaces is messy in an IPv6 world,
906 because several different implementation approaches have been taken. This code
907 is now supposed to work with all of them. The point of difference is whether an
908 IPv6 socket that is listening on all interfaces will receive incoming IPv4
909 calls or not. We also have to cope with the case when IPv6 libraries exist, but
910 there is no IPv6 support in the kernel.
912 . On Solaris, an IPv6 socket will accept IPv4 calls, and give them as mapped
913 addresses. However, if an IPv4 socket is also listening on all interfaces,
914 calls are directed to the appropriate socket.
916 . On (some versions of) Linux, an IPv6 socket will accept IPv4 calls, and
917 give them as mapped addresses, but an attempt also to listen on an IPv4
918 socket on all interfaces causes an error.
920 . On OpenBSD, an IPv6 socket will not accept IPv4 calls. You have to set up
921 two sockets if you want to accept both kinds of call.
923 . FreeBSD is like OpenBSD, but it has the IPV6_V6ONLY socket option, which
924 can be turned off, to make it behave like the versions of Linux described
927 . I heard a report that the USAGI IPv6 stack for Linux has implemented
930 So, what we do when IPv6 is supported is as follows:
932 (1) After it is set up, the list of interfaces is scanned for wildcard
933 addresses. If an IPv6 and an IPv4 wildcard are both found for the same
934 port, the list is re-arranged so that they are together, with the IPv6
937 (2) If the creation of a wildcard IPv6 socket fails, we just log the error and
938 carry on if an IPv4 wildcard socket for the same port follows later in the
939 list. This allows Exim to carry on in the case when the kernel has no IPv6
942 (3) Having created an IPv6 wildcard socket, we try to set IPV6_V6ONLY if that
943 option is defined. However, if setting fails, carry on regardless (but log
946 (4) If binding or listening on an IPv6 wildcard socket fails, it is a serious
949 (5) If binding or listening on an IPv4 wildcard socket fails with the error
950 EADDRINUSE, and a previous interface was an IPv6 wildcard for the same
951 port (which must have succeeded or we wouldn't have got this far), we
952 assume we are in the situation where just a single socket is permitted,
