Hello,

Postfix does not show hostname for a connecting IP address, when the
hostname does not have reverse lookup:

Example from my log:

  warning: hostname zg-0416b-243.stretchoid.com does not resolve to
address 192.241.220.141: Name or service not known
  connect from unknown[192.241.220.141]
  timeout after EHLO from unknown[192.241.220.141]
  disconnect from unknown[192.241.220.141] ehlo=1 commands=1

It is a good thing that postfix warns me that hostname does not resolve
back to the IP, but why does it show:

  connect from unknown[192.241.220.141]

instead of

  connect from zg-0416b-243.stretchoid.com[192.241.220.141]

The IP has DNS record, so even when reverse does not work, I would like
to see the hostname that is connecting

can this be configured?

thank you,
