I do enjoy a good educational argument though.
domains needs a tld to be valid, ip addresses have no tld, so domain
not found is what postfix and other mta sees
192.2.0.55 has a TLD... 55.
My interpretation is that when you have an IP specified properly
[192.2.0.55], it's treated as a IPv4 address literal and is deliverable.
When you have a bare IP, 192.2.0.55, you follow normal DNS lookups.
Since the 55 TLD doesn't exist, you get a NXDOMAIN from the root-servers
and reject the mail.
