Description Dmitry Afanasiev 2015-10-29 15:07:04 UTC 
On system without any IPv6 addresses emailrelay fails to start with messages:
# service emailrelay start
emailrelay: error: cannot bind the listening port: :::25
emailrelay: exception: cannot bind the listening port: :::25
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/emailrelay: WARNING: failed to start emailrelay

To make it working on my IPv4-only system I removed --enable-ipv6 from configure's args:
# svn diff /usr/ports/mail/emailrelay
Index: /usr/ports/mail/emailrelay/Makefile

But I think proper way to solve this issue is enabling IPv6 via "make config"

Hi,

Thank you for your report, I made IPV6 optional which should solve the issue.
