Description Giaocmo Fazio 2006-06-29 09:16:57 UTC 
i compiled spamassassin 3.1.3 under HP-UX 11.00.

But when it run it give me this error:

Your vendor has not defined Socket macro AF_INET6, used at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/IO/Socket/INET6.pm line 50

Any idea?
Thanks
Giacomo

that is pretty serious -- does this affect all uses of the "spamassassin" and
"spamd" scripts, or does it only manifest under certain circumstances?

Another shortcoming of perl's ipv6 support :(

I use CommuniGate Pro with CGPSA and spamassassin. So it affect all users.

Bug 4873 appears to be a duplicate of this.
Bug 4477 appears to be related.

I thought I had remembered someone having a possible fix for this, but I either 
misremembered or can't find it.

I found the solution...
I disabled IPv6 support in Net:DNS.

Thanks

interesting; does SA work ok, when Net::DNS is not installed/not using ipv6?

Yes!!!

SA works wery well and most fast than version 3.04.

Is there actually anything we can do about this?  If anything, it looks like a
Net::DNS bug to me.
Comment 9 Justin Mason 2006-07-12 09:34:19 UTC 
yep, agreed.  Looking at the code, too, Net::DNS::Resolver::Base includes
various IO::Socket::INET6 dynamic-loading code -- I'm pretty sure it's a bug in
that package, not SA.

Btw, see also a related Bug 7009.
