dovecot - Jan 2018 - doveadm mailbox command fails if backend has an IPv6 address

Hi,

some of my maintenance scripts weren't working as expected and I finally
found that this only happens if the user was mapped to a backend server
reachable via IPv6:

On a director:
doveadm mailbox status -u username messages Junk

returns

Junk messages=203  (if backend is connected via IPv4)
or
Lookup of host ipv6addr:542 failed: ... (if backend is connected via IPv6)

doveadm_tcp_connect_port tried a net_gethostbyname with "ipv6addr:542"
as hostname. 

I've attached a quick-and-dirty-patch (for 2.2.33.2) that fixes this (at
least for me).


Regards,

Andreas
