Hello,

Subject: Problem understanding check_client_access and tcp_table

I have a problem understanding how to properly use check_client_access with
an external tcp_table (daemon)

in my main.cf i have put the following:

smtpd_client_restrictions = check_client_access tcp:[127.0.0.1]:11111

The lookup process itself works - but I was under the impression that my
tcp_table "daemon" would receive a "get " lookup requests with the source ip
address as argument... 

What I am receiving is lots of lookup "get" requests with argument "unknown"
and nothing else.

My guess is that the "unknown" string represents unresolvable reverse
lookups - because I'm testing with loopback 127.0.0.x addresses

But what I was expecting was to receive lookup "get" requests with the raw
source ip address as argument - as "unknown" is not of much use for spam
analysis.

Did I misunderstand the check_client_access ?

How do I get the raw source ip address to my tcp_table lookup "daemon" ?

I'm using Postfix 2.11.1 on FreeBSD 10

Thanks in advance

Kind regards Uffe
