Package: sa-exim
Version: 4.2-2
Severity: important

Greylisting.pm assumes that the connection ipaddress always is a ipv4
addr:

line 173: $connectip =~ /(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)/;

When mail is getting deleiverd from an ipv6 capable smtpd filtering will
fail with following lines in syslog:
Mar 17 17:43:13 arrakis spamd[7065]: Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/Greylisting.pm line 176. 
Mar 17 17:43:13 arrakis spamd[7065]: Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/Greylisting.pm line 177.

It appears that the email that caused this error was silently discarded
(I can't find it anywhere).
