However, inside my mimedefang-filter, the value of $RelayHostname was not
"adsl86-34-215-137.romtelecom.net" as I expected, but rather it was
"[86.34.215.137]", seemingly indicating that MIMEDefang was not able to
determine the relay's hostname.


Sendmail wants forward and reverse to match.  See "(may be forged)"?
This host has a PTR but no A (or at least not an A with this name).  It
did say helo with the same name as given in the PTR record.
