hey,

i have multiple nullclients with the exact (!) same main.cf. all but one show the received header as expected, e.g.:

        Received: from host.domain.tld (host.domain.tld [10.0.0.1])
                [...]
        Received: by host.domain.tld (Postfix, from userid 1000)
                [...]

as you can see, in the upper 'Received' header both hostnames are fully qualified and identical, which is what i would expect.

but there is one single host, which doesn't:

        Received: from host.domain.tld (host1 [10.0.0.2])
                [...]
        Received: by host.domain.tld (Postfix, from userid 1000)
                [...]

here, the second hostname is not only not fully qualified, but is also an entirely different hostname.

so, how does postfix determine hostnames? and what ist the difference between the first hostname and the second one in parentheses?

so far i checked /etc/postfix/main.cf, /etc/hosts, and /etc/resolv.conf, and they are all identical (since they are provided via ansible from the same source).

i would appreciate any insight, and i am happy to help with any missing/needed information.

greetings...
