MailScanner & IPv6 [SOLVED]

I am pretty sure the IPv6: leader is Linux-specific, it should just put
the IP(v6) address in there.
I certainly do not want the IPv6: included in the IP address inside
MailScanner.
So I'm going with Rick's suggestion below.

So the relevant bit of Sendmail.pm (starting line 317) now reads:
      if ($Line =~ /^\$_/) {
        $ip = $Line;
        #chomp $ip;
        # Linux adds "IPv6:" on the front of the IPv6 address, so remove it
        if ($ip =~ /\[(?:IPv6:)?([\d.:abcdef]+)\]/) {
          $message->{clientip} = $1;
        } else {
          # It is a locally-created message and doesn't have an smtp
client ip
          $message->{clientip} = '127.0.0.1';
        }
        $IPFound = 1; # We have found the client IP address
      }
