Here is the patch for inn-2.4.3. It also applies to -STABLE
if the force-ipv4 patch is reverted first. So, there's also a
patch to do just that

Because the mailinglist appears to eat attachments, both patches
are included inline below.

There's no inn-2.5 version yet.

       patch.
 
-    * Marco d'Itri added a *force-ipv4* peer configuration option for
-      innfeed that, if set, tells innfeed to never attempt an IPv6
-      connection to that host.
-
     * Added a *nnrpdflags* parameter to inn.conf (modeled on the concept of
       *innflags*) to permit passing of command line arguments to instances
       of nnrpd spawned from innd.
