First, I was wrong about when unknown shows.  Unknown seems to show if a
reverse isn't found, not if it doesn't match.

For regular inbound emails, if helo doesn't match the reverse, the reverse
is used right after the received: line and the helo that was given appears
after the helo= line.  Sorry about that mistake.

However,  I've done a couple of tests hitting our relay port from some
outside hosts that I opened up temporarily.  I'm talking from several
different ISPs, all of which have an IP that reverses fine using the dns
servers used on the ASSP server.  Every test message shows

Received from: *unknown (x.x.x.x helo=givenhelo)*
where x.x.x.x is the connecting IP address and givenhelo is the helo that
was used which matches the reverse dns of that IP.

I can't figure out why it would show as unknown.  It's as if ASSP isn't
doing or finding the hostname based on the reverse of the ip.  And that's
only happening through the relay port.
