[Mimedefang] md_check_against_smtp_server not IPv6 proof?

Hi all

I just noticed that md_check_against_smtp_server seams to be failing checking 
an IPv6 only destination server.

(Not sure if $ip contains only IPv4 but in other routines the IPv6 address is 
correctly returned...)

Also on Servers which are reachable through IPv6 and IPv4 I noticed that 
md_check_against_smtp_server does a IPv4 connection for testing the recipient 
and then sendmail sends the email itself via IPv6. This could lead to strange 
problems in case there are different virutal mailservers on those different 
IP-Addresses.

Is this going to be fixed in future releases?
