That is surely the result of DNS or /etc/hosts configuration issues. Postfix looks up the client hostname in /etc/hosts or DNS, then it looks up the IP address for that hostname in /etc/hosts or DNS. Look for differences in /etc/hosts, and for differences in PTR and A records, for the affected IP addresses. Wietse
