From: Phil Howard on 24 May 2010 09:49 So it looks like the IP address parser used here doesn't accept all valid forms of IPv6? fatal: /etc/postfix/master.cf: line 32: valid hostname or network address required in "[fc00::0.0.0.25]:25" It worked when I used "[fc00::0019]:25".

It is a valid way to express the last 32 bits of any IPv6 address. It only needs to be a valid IPv4 address if the previous 96 bits are "::ffff" (or one other case I don't reacall that I read about). It is used, for example, to map the chosen host-part of the IP address onto network prefixes. For example, when using the last 16 bits as a host part, the IPv4 prefix would be 16 bits while the IPv6 prefix would be 112 bits. But this isn't the first case I have to revert to the pure hex form.
