I don't have access to that system. I think the problem is this:

$sender_host_name should only be set if the forward DNS matches. In this case,
the forward dns didn't match, so $sender_host_name rightly wasn't set.

So either the documentation for $sender_host_dnssec is wrong and it should say
that it is true if the PTR lookup passes DNSSEC, in which case
$sender_host_name shouldn't even be mentioned. Or... the implementation of
$sender_host_dnssec is wrong, and it shouldn't be true if the forward DNS
doesn't match.

mike@flan:~$ host 178.19.228.10
10.228.19.178.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer
nat6-178-19-228-10.net.encoline.de.
mike@flan:~$ host -t a nat6-178-19-228-10.net.encoline.de
nat6-178-19-228-10.net.encoline.de has address 178.19.231.10
mike@flan:~$

178.19.228.10 != 178.19.231.10
