Does anyone know what this means. My maillog is filled up with these warnings, yet i have no problems receiving or sending my mail.
Thanks

Jan 22 07:32:21 mail /usr/lib/qpopper/qpopper4.0.3/popper/popper[2675]: (v4.0.3) Unable to get canonical name of client 192.16
8.5.2: Unknown host (1)

I compiled qpopper using the standalone mode
 
Qpopper can't find the host name of the machines getting their e-mail. On a network all machines need an ip and hostname (machine name). On linux machines this is in /etc/hosts/ and on windows machines, I don't know but I think you set that in your network configs under Identification.
