[Dovecot] listen directive changed?

[Nick Edwards]

I do not get warnings, and,

listen = *, ::1, 2001:470:some:subnet::ffff

_snip_
  inet_listener imap {
    address = *,[::]
    port = 143
...

same with pop3

If I use 2001:470:some:subnet::2222     dovecot (2.1.16) answers


Sorry about previous direct message, darn gmail and darn bosses (
policy says cant use company email for public lists)
