All,

I run a set of public mail relays that have a pretty comprehensive 'email firewall' implementation that makes extensive use of ACLs and perform a wide range of checks including RBLs, SMTP protocol, etc.

I run Exim 4.92 compiled from source on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit.

All of my ACLs use 'warn' and I output messages with a single word prefix like 'CONNECT', 'HELO', 'CRYPTO', 'MAIL', 'DKIM', 'CONTENT' so that I can find out what's happening and debug things when they go wrong.  For the last could of years I have been seeing an odd log message:

    no IP address found for host bazar2.conectiva.com.br

amongst the messages.  I know its not one of mine as it doesn't have one of my prefixes - I have highlightes in red:

The log message always refers to the hostname 'bazar2.conectiva.com.br' irrespective of the actual host connected?

Has anyone else seen behaviour like this? or have an idea what it is or where it is coming from?
