Hi together,
During the setup of a postfix system on Debian I found log message in
the format of

    Sep 27 01:14:26 diskstation postfix/smtpd[24461]: disconnect from
unknown[192.168.178.23]

or even worse

    timeout after UNKNOWN from unknown[192.168.178.23]

Improving those (and other message suffering from similar unnecessary
lack of information) by adding the variable the unknown value stands
for brings intuition forward in categories of light years and doesn'
cost much, e.g.

    Sep 27 01:14:26 diskstation postfix/smtpd[24461]: disconnect from
<SASL username?/hostname?/socket identifier? What else could be
related to an IP? guess, guess, guess> unknown[192.168.178.23]

and

    timeout after <SMTP command? elapsed time? since when?> UNKNOWN
from <see above> unknown[192.168.178.23]

I'm usually not too much opposed to RTFM, but in this case it just
looks like the implementation isn't finished.
