Postfix uses system libraries for DNS lookups. You can test your system
using the same calls with the tools in the auxiliary/name-addr-test
directory in the postfix source.
These aren't built by default; example compile command
# cc -o gethostbyaddr gethostbyaddr.c
If any of these tools crash or give "unexpected" results, there's a
problem with your system libraries; contact your OS vendor.
Thanks, I'll pursue that. I didn't initially think it would be
worthwhile because you'll notice in the log that the pid of smtpd
remains the same. I figured if the host resolver was returning
something bad (causing a crash), that master (or whatever process)
would report the problem rather than smtpd logging a disconnect.
No, I don't think postfix is crashing either. And I don't
really expect to find a library problem.
Absent other evidence, I think the client disconnected for
reasons known only to the client.
