One of your POP-email clients connecting to your machine has an
address that the server can't determine the name of. There are 2 ways
to fix this annoying message:
1. inform the server about the client; by adding it to /etc/hosts
or your DNS.
2. edit syslog.conf so that the message doesn't appear (ie the
error is still there, you're just ignoring it).
Cheers.
