Hello,

My understanding was clients for whom you see this in the logs:

connect from unknown[1.2.3.4]

Do not have a PTR/rDNS set up for themselves.  However, I recently tested a 
connection (using telnet on the client side, connecting to port 25) from a 
server that does have rDNS in place, but I still get the "connect from unknown".

I did "dig -x 1.2.3.4" on the server for the same IP address and the result 
came back with the correct domain name. So why didn't postfix see the host 
name? I restarted postfix in case it was caching, but it didn't help.

I also tried putting this in /etc/hosts

1.2.3.4  host.example.com

That didn't help, either.

Appreciate any tips.
