Interesting...
I didn't have to touch that file and mail receives just fine (running sendmail - what MTA are you using?)
Do you have ipv6 set up completely?

| I think I deleted some stuff for ipv6. I'm running postfix. Looking in my kernel configuration, I have config_ipv6 and config_ipv6_sit enabled and that's all. In shorewall I have not disabled ipv6. I'm not sure where else to look for a problem and unclear on what I might have deleted. Thanks. |
