You can use gai.conf to select preference to IPv4.
#precedence ::1/128 50 #precedence ::/0 40 #precedence 2002::/16 30 #precedence ::/96 20 #precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 10 # # For sites which prefer IPv4 connections change the last line to # precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 100 #CER
and uncommenting that last precedence line provides the fetchmail service I experienced before the last several days.
but do I want to keep this precedence? does that do the same as turning off ipv6?
not sure I really understand what this does.
That applications will choose IPv4 when both are available. If no IPv4 address, then they will use IPv6. For all applications. Sigh. IPv6 is not ready yet.
tks,
