This would happen if the client's IP address doesn't reverse resolve (no PTR records) or if your host's DNS is broken. Try resolving the hostname yourself. If valid client hosts don't have PTR records and you can't or don't want to add them, you should read the documentation for your popper to find a way to turn off DNS reverse-resolution.
