Something along the lines of listening only on 0.0.0.0, but not ∷0. I’m sure exim has a listen-on-this-address directive, but it’s been so long I don’t remember what it’s called or where it is. Personally, I would fix the problem by installing Postfix :-).

On boot, my SheevaPlug computer (running Ubuntu) emits this:

Looking in /var/log/exim4/paniclog, I see
2011-11-11 19:52:02 IPv6 socket creation failed: Address family not supported by protocol
I'm not using IPv6; I don't know exim. Any pointers on how to resolve this, aside from replacing exim?
