+ +To use fetchmail with IPv6, you need a system that supports IPv6, the "Basic +Socket Interface Extensions for IPv6" (RFC 2133), and the inet6-apps kit. +This currently means that you need to have a BSD/OS or NetBSD system with +the NRL IPv6+IPsec software distribution or a Linux system with the latest +experimental kernel and net-tools. It should not be hard to build fetchmail on +other IPv6 implementations if you can port the inet6-apps kit.
