swaks failing on ipv6 despite forcing it to use ipv4 with -4 switch

swaks -4 -S -t [email protected] -f [email protected] -ao -au user2 -ap ***** -tls -s  example3  --header Subject: Q4mSShEEoYnAviWg
*** Error connecting to example3:25:
***     IO::Socket::INET6: getaddrinfo: Temporary failure in name resolution

I'm using -4 option, so why does it complain about ipv6 hostname?

  1. IO::Socket::INET6 is a Perl module providing that script's network sockets. INET6 added IPv6 support to the INET module, and is fully capable of IPv4.

    Find this system's DNS servers and test them directly with a different utility:

    dig example3 A

    Determine and fix why you cannot connect to DNS.
