I solved this (see patch) by changing

if ($ip =~ /\[([\d.:abcdef]+)\]/) {

into

if ($ip =~ /\[([IPv6\d.:abcdef]+)\]/) {

in Sendmail.pm. I'm not sure if this is the best check (ItWorksForMe[tm]), but I'll leave that to Julian.

Now I'm off to MailWatch, since it seems there's also something going wrong there. The mailscanner database does have the correct clientip record, however the details of a IPv6 message shows "127.0.0.1" as "Received from:". There will probably a similar check with default "127.0.0.1" in one of the .php files.
