I've recently been getting occasion relaying denied messages from my mail server (in my own house, no less, seems a bit abusive, shouldn't take that from a machine, pull it's plug or maybe it's memory chips one at a time....)...

Um....Athenae has 2 interfaces, one at 192.168.3.12, and another at 192.168.3.140.
Isn't the ::ffff: some sort of ipv6 compatibility address (that I thought had been abandoned?)...
Why is it seeing my addr as such athenae isn't USING IP6 addessing?!?
It's just an IPv4 address presented in IPv6 format. It's quite typical for an IPv6-aware applications to use that format. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.4°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
