Why would my mail server be reporting the following errors? I have
several accounts that log on without any problems, recently I setup a
new account and they are unable to log on to receive their email. 

May  7 02:26:24 light ipop3d[20922]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 49:
host name/address mismatch: 204.244.162.*** != kam***.dial.uniserve.ca
May  7 02:26:24 light ipop3d[20922]: refused connect from
204.244.162.***

In my hosts.allow file I have: 
pop3d: localhost my.ip.num.000/sub.net.000.000: ALLOW

If I change this to:
pop3d: ALL: ALLOW

I still get a warning in my secure log, but the connection from this
account is allowed. Is there a security issue with using this setup? Any
Ideas why I would get the error host name/address mismatch, for this
account?

Also I'm occasionally getting this error in my logs as well. 
May  8 02:56:45 light sendmail[28329]: NOQUEUE: office.**somewhere**.com
[208.181.***.***] did not issue
MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA
May  8 02:56:46 light ipop3d[28330]: No such file or directory while
reading line user=???
host=office.**somewhere**.com [208.181.***.***]

Any ideas?? 


Thanks
Dave
