If you don't have Mozilla 0.99 then you can upgrade and re-enable IPv6 in
your kernel (Mozilla gets much faster and stable as it develops),
otherwise copy and edit /usr/share/sendmail/cf/netbsd-proto.mc and remove
the lines at the bottom relating to IPv6. Build a new sendmail.cf and
you're on your way. According to the comments in netbsd-proto.mc IPv6 is
optional - does sendmail actually still work even though it can't bind to
an IPv6 address?
