  Hi, To disable IPv6 for exim, please go through following steps, Change following line in exim.conf Search for :hostlist loopback = <; 127.0.0.0/8 ; 0.0.0.0 ; ::1 ; 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:ffff:7f00:0000/8 and replace it with : hostlist loopback = <; 127.0.0.0/8 ; 0.0.0.0 Restart Exim. try it.

  thank you for fast replys. If i do that, then i have problems to send emails: unable to bind outgoing SMTP call to [ADDITIONAL IP]: Cannot assign requested addressfailed: Cannot assign requested address (I have a seperate IP for exim) if i remove the line disable_ipv6 = true, it works... but then again with ipv6

  Maybe IPv6 Address got cached. Try to restart server.

  This error can happen if the IP address is not bound to the server. Try restarting the "ipaliases" service via: service ipaliases restart
  Thank you.
