Package: exim4
Version: 4.69-9
Severity: wishlist

Default installations of exim4 do not include IPv6 addresses, so it does not 
work as expected
on IPv6 systems. This affects the dc_local_interfaces 
in /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf:

for local configurations set it to '::::1:127.0.0.1'
for all others set it to: '::::0:0.0.0.0'

(::1 is localhost in IPv6, :: is the any address of IPv6, exim doubles the 
colons)
