But what it said was that it couldn't look up the name from the IP
address. In this case, it has to reject, since to let it in might be a
Bad Thing. If you want to cause it to let in mail from hosts whose name
it cannot determine, then stick +allow_unknown as a prior item in the
list, e.g.

sender_host_reject_recipients = +allow_unknown : lsearch;/what/ever
