In-Reply-To: <oreegbosct.fsf@lxoliva.fsfla.org>
the setup of sourceware.org has been triggering exim4 to put warnings
such as the following into /var/log/exim4/mainlog:
2021-03-19 20:01:35 no IP address found for host
ip-8-43-85-97.sourceware.org (during SMTP connection from
[8.43.85.97])
i have fail2ban set up to monitor for such "no IP address" messages,
and enough of those will trigger a full-on recidive ban for at least 2
weeks. this is what you hit, Frank, so apologies, the tests you did
would have been invalid (expected behaviour).
i've since whitelisted 8.43.85.97 (as of 3 hours ago) so any further
tests you do should succeed to 217.147.94.29
the outgoing connection from postfix running on sourceware.org appears
to be reporting its hostname as "ip-8-43-85-97.sourceware.org". this
is a hostname that doesn't exist.
where exim4, as the recipient incoming connection, is getting that
host name from, i couldn't tell you. i don't know if it's making that
up (unlikely), or if it's part of the HELO from postfix (plausible),
or other.
