Bad case of log bloat:

Trying to figure out why I have "...gethostbyaddr() failed.." in the
maillog.  It seems that this happens with every mail message and for each
aliased IP (same PID) and there are 150 aliases and rising.  The maillog is
set in syslog for mail.info and this should be at the notice level, IMHO.

Fresh 2.2.1 and nothing really done with sendmail (secondary).  Running a
customized smap to proxy mail.  It is also happening on a 2.1.7 machine
running Stronghold, but only about 15 virutals.

DNS otherwise works fine and smap does check inverse/forward no problem.
