Hi All,

Since we had a totally IPv6 network, I'd just like to point out the 
fosdem.org mail servers seem broken for accepting mail over ipv6.

Only one server has a v6 address and is not listening on port 25 (the v4 
address is), happened to notice looking at my mail server logs :)

damian at Capricorn:~$ dig +short fosdem.org mx

(Fails over to v4)

web1-man:~# telnet 2a01:4f8:191:4332::28 25
Trying 2a01:4f8:191:4332::28...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

:(

Would be good to get this resolved so mail can be received over V6!

Cheers
