Re: [Dovecot] proxy_maybe and IPv6

Is there a way to avoid that?

If you're using SQL passdb, you could probably return host as either
IPv4 or IPv6 depending on if %l or %r is an IPv4 or IPv6 address?
Other than that I don't really see an easy way to handle this, because
dovecot-auth has to be the one to decide if the proxying should be
done or not, and it doesn't know all the IP addresses the Dovecot
installation is listening on.
