twelvegates Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 When I try sending a mail message via the smarthost there are ipv6 name requests sent out which won't be answered. This results in a long delay when sending mail. When I hardcode the ip address of smarthost into /etc/hosts mail is send out much faster. Is there a means to restrict name resolution to ipv4 only without making entries in /etc/hosts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 You could disable IPV6 if you like, which may help resolve this. Edit /etc/modprobe.conf and add this line: alias net-pf-10 off hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it shouldn't issue IPV6 requests, should it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
