Sorry for the top posting.

has a way to opt out. Unfortunately they want you to give them your IP space 
rather than the other way around. They use a floating IP scheme and can't 
easily be blocked.

Subject: Postfix shows unknown instead of resolved hostname


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,
