806 possible on various ports. This is controlled by the combination of
807 local_interfaces (which can set IP addresses and ports) and daemon_smtp_port
808 (which is a list of default ports to use for those items in local_interfaces
809 that do not specify a port). The -oX command line option can be used to
810 override one or both of these options.
812 If local_interfaces is not set, the default is to listen on all interfaces.
813 When it is set, it can include "all IPvx interfaces" as an item. This is useful
814 when different ports are in use.
816 It turns out that listening on all interfaces is messy in an IPv6 world,
817 because several different implementation approaches have been taken. This code
818 is now supposed to work with all of them. The point of difference is whether an
819 IPv6 socket that is listening on all interfaces will receive incoming IPv4
820 calls or not. We also have to cope with the case when IPv6 libraries exist, but
821 there is no IPv6 support in the kernel.
823 . On Solaris, an IPv6 socket will accept IPv4 calls, and give them as mapped
824 addresses. However, if an IPv4 socket is also listening on all interfaces,
825 calls are directed to the appropriate socket.
827 . On (some versions of) Linux, an IPv6 socket will accept IPv4 calls, and
828 give them as mapped addresses, but an attempt also to listen on an IPv4
829 socket on all interfaces causes an error.
831 . On OpenBSD, an IPv6 socket will not accept IPv4 calls. You have to set up
832 two sockets if you want to accept both kinds of call.
834 . FreeBSD is like OpenBSD, but it has the IPV6_V6ONLY socket option, which
835 can be turned off, to make it behave like the versions of Linux described
838 . I heard a report that the USAGI IPv6 stack for Linux has implemented
841 So, what we do when IPv6 is supported is as follows:
843 (1) After it is set up, the list of interfaces is scanned for wildcard
844 addresses. If an IPv6 and an IPv4 wildcard are both found for the same
845 port, the list is re-arranged so that they are together, with the IPv6
848 (2) If the creation of a wildcard IPv6 socket fails, we just log the error and
849 carry on if an IPv4 wildcard socket for the same port follows later in the
850 list. This allows Exim to carry on in the case when the kernel has no IPv6
853 (3) Having created an IPv6 wildcard socket, we try to set IPV6_V6ONLY if that
854 option is defined. However, if setting fails, carry on regardless (but log
857 (4) If binding or listening on an IPv6 wildcard socket fails, it is a serious
860 (5) If binding or listening on an IPv4 wildcard socket fails with the error
861 EADDRINUSE, and a previous interface was an IPv6 wildcard for the same
862 port (which must have succeeded or we wouldn't have got this far), we
863 assume we are in the situation where just a single socket is permitted,
864 and ignore the error.
