fwiw, I wasn't trying to sound abrasive, simply requesting that since the 
expected behavior is that if the behavior is that the client should try 
v6, then v4 -- that the server should have options to bind that way 
(assume I am running a spamd server that serves both v4 and v6 users). 
Right now I cannot multi-stack bind (is that being worked on?) or bind to 
multiple addresses (is that also being worked on?).

Alternatively, there should be an flag in the client to control whether 
it connects on v4 or v6, and the default should be consistent with how the 
server functions by default.  If v6 support in the server isn't done yet, 
then v4 should be the default.

Of course, opening a bug on this won't help since it's slated for fixing 
and ostensibly already have bugs open.

I suggested there might also be docbugs, but since this support is coming 
in the next release, amending the docs in the current version wouldn't 
help.

I've found bug reports to be a *terrible* method of communication unless 
someone on a list who knows the product better than I says "yeah, that's a 
bug, open one".
