[clamav-users] clamd/clamdscan and IPv6

Hello,

some weeks ago, I changed my ISP and with that, for the first time got a public 
IPv6-address for the computer where clamd/clamdscan are running on. Now, I 
realized that from the moment when the provider switch took place, all virus 
checks failed with the following error message in the mail headers:

ERROR: Could not lookup : Servname not supported for ai_socktype

I am quite sure that this is caused by IPv6, what surprises me because I do 
not use IP, but local socket /run/clamav/clamd.ctl for communication between 
clamdscan and clamd. What can I do now to solve the problem?

My clamd version is 0.99.2.

Regards
  Christoph
