[Dovecot] Dovecot and IPv6
Hello,
I am trying to run Dovecot with IPv6 and IPv4. I have the following command in my conf:
listen = *
This makes Dovecot listen on all addresses on IPv4. I then add:
listen = [::]
So the conf now has both listen lines. This forces Dovecot to listen on all IPv6 addresses, but it no longer responds to requests on IPv4.
Is there a way to get Dovecot to listen on both protocols?

But that may be the default anyway so if you leave it commented out I think you get the same effect.
