It was: <rnddg[2]>.<rnddg[2]>.<rnddg[2]>.<rnddg[2]> Even if you were to convert all of the letters to numbers in the above hostname, it still would not be a valid/RFC compliant bracketed "well formed IP" address. Thus, I would summarily block a hostname like this at my gateway - IMail/Declude would never see it.
