      I just started rolling IPv6 into production and discovered
that, even when compiled with --enable-inet6, fetchmail complains
that it can not obtain the canonical name of a host if it's IPv6 only
(I have my DNS separated into IPv4, IPv6 global, and IPv6 site local
for testing).  Seems to be a problem with "gethostbyname()".  I'm
still exploring that to find out why.

Not using IPv6 myself, but:

- does your resolver try IPv6 at all? (nsswitch.conf)?
- does your DNS software use and answer to AAAA queries?
