hello

I have setup a mail server. This works fine, appart from few things I am going to solve slowly. The first is that postfix seems not to listen on ipv6 on any external socket :

Code:

10:42 root@einstein ~ # netstat -lp|grep master                                                                 
tcp        0      0 *:submission            *:*                     LISTEN      5309/master         
tcp        0      0 *:smtp                  *:*                     LISTEN      5309/master         
tcp        0      0 einstein.22decemb:10025 *:*                     LISTEN      5309/master


but I have enabled ipv6 everywhere in the server :
Code:
10:46 root@einstein ~ # emerge --info postfix

mail-mta/postfix-2.8.4 was built with the following:
USE="dovecot-sasl hardened ipv6 (multilib) pam ssl -cdb -doc -ldap -ldap-bind -mbox -mysql -nis -postgres -sasl (-selinux) -sqlite -vda"


and in main.cf :

Code:
# RECEIVING MAIL

inet_interfaces = all
inet_protocols = ipv4, ipv6


How could I solve this ?

does your NIC actually have an ipv6 address? sorry if it's a silly question, but usually this issue == NIC doesnt have an ipv6 address, or ipv6 not enabled in kernel

I have a well enabled ipv6 adress as well as the kernel ! An important part of my traffic is ipv6.
Should I say to postfix to listen specifically on the ipv6 adress (whereas I didn't do so much on ipv4) ?

You can lookup on einstein.22decembre.eu for www, you can access !

as far as i can gather your configuration is correct, however

-if doing a 'postfix reload' throws errors in your logs (or even on the console), you should see where to look
-if it does not show any errors, it would seem postfix is, for whatever reason, not aware your ipv6 interface exists.

I guess another question, just as a troubleshooting step, can you explicitly set postfix to listen on ipv6 and see what happens?

e.g.

Code:

inet_protocols = ipv6
inet_interfaces = all


if nothing else, i would think doing that would show a more useful error.

It seems postfix doesn't like both protocols. It wants only one :

Code:
Sep 24 21:46:20 einstein postfix/postfix-script[24627]: refreshing the Postfix mail system
Sep 24 21:46:20 einstein postfix/master[5309]: reload -- version 2.8.4, configuration /etc/postfix

Sep 24 21:46:21 einstein postfix/anvil[24552]: statistics: max connection rate 1/60s for (smtp:208.92.234.80) at Sep 24 21:42:00

Sep 24 21:46:21 einstein postfix/anvil[24552]: statistics: max cache size 1 at Sep 24 21:42:00


It wants all the inside protocols to be ipv6. So, I place my loopback address in master.cf on ipv6, then launch again :

Code:

Sep 24 21:47:04 einstein postfix/postfix-script[24649]: fatal: the Postfix mail system is not running
Sep 24 21:47:09 einstein postfix/postfix-script[24731]: starting the Postfix mail system
Sep 24 21:47:09 einstein postfix/master[24732]: fatal: /etc/postfix/master.cf: line 33: bad hostname or network address: 127.0.0.1:10025
Sep 24 21:47:49 einstein postfix/postfix-script[24748]: fatal: the Postfix mail system is not running
Sep 24 21:47:53 einstein postfix/postfix-script[24821]: starting the Postfix mail system
Sep 24 21:47:53 einstein postfix/master[24822]: daemon started -- version 2.8.4, configuration /etc/postfix


It is well running. But listenning only on ipv6 :

Code:
21:48 root@einstein ~ # netstat -lp|grep master     
tcp6       0      0 [::]:submission         [::]:*                  LISTEN      24822/master       
tcp6       0      0 [::]:smtp               [::]:*                  LISTEN      24822/master       
tcp6       0      0 einstein.22decemb:10025 [::]:*                  LISTEN      24822/master 


But again, I make "inet_protocols = ipv6,ipv4" and restart postfix, and now, it seems to work on ipv6 and ipv4. Much better. (It's what I want).

I will see if it's ok in the next days...
