I added "#ifdef CANONICAL_VERBOSE" to my qpopper like this. Once Upon A
Time in an earlier version I altered this pop_log() to print the numeric
IP address. Recently decided I didn't care.
pop_init.c:
/* Get the canonical name of the host to whom I am speaking */
ch = gethostbyaddr((char *) &cs.sin_addr, sizeof(cs.sin_addr), AF_INET);
if (ch == NULL){
#ifdef CANONICAL_VERBOSE
pop_log(p,POP_PRIORITY,
"(v%s) Unable to get canonical name of client, err = %d",
VERSION, errno);
#endif
p->client = p->ipaddr;
}
