Hi,

This is not true for my linux distro at least, which does not listen on
ipv4 interface when setting "listen = [::]" (in dovecot 1.2.13).

I need "listen = *, [::]" to enable support for both ipv4 and ipv6. This
sounds like some distro specific implementation/configuration, so saying
'On Linux' is not true.

FWIW: I run gentoo linux (in an openvz container).
