Motivation for this change

Running spamc would fail and spamd would log messages about addresses being too long:

  error: Bad arg length for Socket::unpack_sockaddr_in, length is 28,
  should be 16
Things done

By adding Socket6 as a buildInput, spamd is now able to process emails
without choking on IPv6 addresses.

  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nix-review --run "nix-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.
