Section 6:

"The number given in square brackets is the IP address of the sending
host. If there is a single, unparenthesized host name in the H field, as
above, it has been verified to correspond to the IP address (see the
host_lookup option). If the name is in parentheses, it was the name
quoted by the remote host in the SMTP HELO or EHLO command, and has not
been verified. If verification yields a different name to that given for
HELO or EHLO, the verified name appears first, followed by the HELO or
EHLO name in parentheses."
