Bind to local IP address (IPv4 and IPv6)

Post by Bob.Dig » 2020-06-29 09:32

Hi there.

Under SMTP settings > Advanced > Bind to local IP address,

I would like to be able to bind to one IPv4 and one IPv6 address instead of just one or the other.

Thank you for reading this.

You can't.

If you leave it blank hMailServer will use the Windows default address when sending but it will listen on all available IP addresses - IPV4 or IPV6.

Thats exactly the reason its requested here in "Feature Requests" There was already a thread before and marting suggested it would be released in specific version but it is still not there (even the topic was more complex with binding to different ip's per domain/sender.
I really need both because right now google added just a new rule

550-5.7.1 does not meet IPv6 sending guidelines regarding PTR records and

Because my main ip on the server is not the one that is listening and used for mail.

You are free to make the change yourself - hMailServer is Open Source.
