Then Exim is right but, how that can be? :-?

sm01@stt008:~$ /sbin/ifconfig lo
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
           inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0

Check you "/etc/hosts" file. You should have this line which enables the
ipv6 loopback interface:

***
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
***


Yeah, it's commented out :)
I can't now remember why I did that; but I think it might have been a problem with bind9...
I've uncommented it now; done ifdown/ifup, but still no inet6 addr on lo. Still, never mind... 

Cheers, Tony
