The IPv6 code that mini_sendmail enables by default is defective, at least on FreeBSD 4.8, mini_sendmail doesn't work at all. I installed mini_sendmail from package, recompiling the port (same version) doesn't make a difference. Impact: mini_sendmail doesn't work. Sample outputs: Without arguments: # mini_sendmail </dev/null mini_sendmail: connect: Can't assign requested address (strace info) ... socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 3 connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(0), inet_pton(AF_INET6, "::", &s in6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=0, sin6_scope_id=0}, 28) = -1 EADDRNOTAVAIL (Can't assi gn requested address) ... As we can see, the port has not been set to 25 as it ought to have been. With server IP: # mini_sendmail -s127.0.0.1 </dev/null mini_sendmail: connect: Can't assign requested address With hostname it connects somewhere else: socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3 connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(25), sin_addr=inet_addr("144.144.4 .8")}, 16 <unfinished ...> (Side note: SuSE Linux 8.1, glibc 2.2.5, kernel 2.4.22, returns ECONNREFUSED rather than EADDRNOTAVAIL. I wonder what system mini_sendmail was tested on before release.) Asking "host" or "ping", the same hostname yields 192.168.0.2 instead. Apparently the address handling in the USE_IPV6 code paths is broken. Adding #undef USE_IPV6 before the first check fixes things up at the expense of disabling IPv6 support, but this is not the real fix. Fix: THIS IS NOT A REAL FIX, JUST A BAND-AID to make the code work with IPv4. I don't have the time to fix mini_sendmail and send stuff upstream on short notice, and a better patch than this should be used to make IPv6 actually work rather than just disable it. Should this patch be applied: committer, please remove the ipv6 category and mind you this patch creates a new file in the files/ subdirectory. (Have your mug of coffee before committing ;-) REMEMBER to use "patch -p0" to apply this patch so the file goes into files/ rather than the working directory! How-To-Repeat: See above.
