One of your POP-email clients connecting to your machine has an
address that the server can't determine the name of. There are 2 ways
to fix this annoying message:

    1.  inform the server about the client; by adding it to /etc/hosts
        or your DNS.
    2.  edit syslog.conf so that the message doesn't appear (ie the
        error is still there, you're just ignoring it).

Cheers.
