On the server w/ postfix:

$ host 38.119.56.160
160.56.119.38.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer mta700.testemail.newegg.com.
160.56.119.38.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer mta700.email.newegg.com.

Is the reason below why it shows up as unknown because the fwd/reverse do not match properly, or?

$ host mta700.testemail.newegg.com
Host mta700.testemail.newegg.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

$ host mta700.email.newegg.com
mta700.email.newegg.com has address 38.119.56.160

In the logs though, it does not lookup the name for (newegg only), I only see it with newegg where this happens on occasion:

Why does it show as unknown instead of the hostname itself?

I use check_client_access with a whitelist for newegg.com but if it does not lookup (shows as unknown) instead of from *.newegg.com, it is of no use.

Any ideas?

- postfix 2.5.2-2
- running local dns/bind caching server
- only happens typically from (newegg) from what I have seen (not orders),
  but deal/sales e-mails from newegg

Is this something on my side or their side?

Justin.
