1) you're running an insecure version of qpopper
2) it means popper was unable to get the canonical name of the client
In other words, the client's IP address did not reverse resolve to a
hostname. I commented this out long ago, as I usually don't control
the reverse DNS for my gateways and it just fills up the logs with a
slew of useless information.
