mail() putting IPv6 address into headers instead of IPv4 address, failing spam check

[Robert Simpson]

Hi folks,

For some reason my PHP mail() is sending messages using the IPv6 address instead of IPv4 and it's causing Gmail and Hotmail to junk the messages.

Any ideas as to how I can force it to send it using IPv4?


Cheers,
Robert

PS. This is a bit on the urgent side so any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello

You can try disabling IPV6 in Exim by browsing to:

"WHM Home » Service Configuration » Exim Configuration Manager » Advanced Editor"

Scroll down until you see "Add additional configuration setting" (it's just above Section: BEGINACL"). Then, select the following option from the drop-down menu:

disable_ipv6

Set the value to:

true

Scroll to the very bottom of the page, and click "Save".

Thank you.
