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?
no. There's no poing in trusting reverse lookup if it's not
forward-confirmed.
Anyone can poing their reverse DNS to any domain they don't own.
Get proper reverse/forward name, possibly not generic.
