In linux, INET6 :: is also INET4 0.0.0.0 (atleast for sendmail)
So you dont need to specify inet if you are using inet6 anyip.

  Subject: Some problems with sendmail, Linux and v6


  Hi folks,

  I get some problems running sendmail in an IPv6/IPv4 Linux box (kernel =
2.4.5 - conectiva a based-RedHat distribution). I compiled both Sendmail =
8.9.1 with WINE patch and Sendmail 8.12 using -DNETINET6 option and I =
see if I use at the same time the two lines below in sendmail.cf:
  "O DaemonPortOptions=3DName=3DIPv4, Family=3Dinet"         ("O =
DaemonPortOptions=3DFamily=3Dinet6" in /etc/sendmail6.cf using WINE)
  "O DaemonPortOptions=3DName=3DIPv6, Family=3Dinet6"       ("O =
DaemonPortOptions=3DFamily=3Dinet6" in /etc/sendmail6.cf using WINE)

  I get no runing sendmail, I can only use:
  "O DaemonPortOptions=3DName=3DIPv4, Family=3Dinet"
      or=20
  "O DaemonPortOptions=3DName=3DIPv6, Family=3Dinet6"

  So, I only could have an IPv6 SMTP Server or an IPv4 SMTP Server but =
never the both running. I had a FreeBSD box, where IPv6 is native and I =
see that the same configuration have no problems in Free. Do anyone know =
some specific bug regarding about this configuration above described? =
Some hint to I overpass it??

  Thanks,

  Allan Freitas
