The workaround for that is to recompile the kernel with IPv6 support, or
just fix /etc/modutils/aliases if you are running a stock kernel-image-2.2.*.
Also, the config files that it generates are broken, there is a typo
in the macro for received_header_text. I've since switched to qmail
(helping with empath, a KDE mailer with Maildir only support), could
someone track down the error and file a bug?
