How to: Enable sending mail with IPv6 addresses¶
The dns_ip6_lookup feature is disabled by default as of InterWorx Version
5.1.7. This means mail will not try to deliver via IPv6, unless manually
configured. To enable sending over IPv6, first create a file called
/var/qmail/control/dns_ip6_lookup
with “1” as the contents:
[root@interworxtestbox home]# echo 1 > /var/qmail/control/dns_ip6_lookup
[root@interworxtestbox home]# cat /var/qmail/control/dns_ip6_lookup
1
[root@interworxtestbox home]#
Then, create a file called /var/qmail/control/senderip6
, with contents
following this format: domain: ip6 address
. Example:
[root@interworxtestbox home]# cat /var/qmail/control/senderip6
iwtest.net:2001:db8:0:1:1:1:1:1
[root@interworxtestbox home]#
