Hmmm... what does: ifconfig lo0 return? You should actually see two IPv6 addresses configured, like so: happy-idiot-talk:~:% ifconfig lo0 lo0: flags=3D8049 mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128=20 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2=20 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000=20 Also your original test was connecting to a SMTP server on the loopback. What does: sockstat | grep :25 return? Seeing ::1:25 in the output would be good. However, it is entirely possible that your MTA isn't binding to IPv6 addresses. If you're trying to make lpd(8) work, you should be looking for stuff listening on port 515.
