dig: '.org.hub.maia-2.in-addr.arpa.' is not a legal name (empty label)


And where this came from?

Nov  1 20:30:53 base postfix/smtpd[11763]: warning: smtpd_peer_init: 200.46.204.187: address not listed for hostname
maia-2.hub.org
Nov  1 20:30:54 base postfix/smtpd[11763]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[200.46.204.187]: 450 <maia-2.hub.org>:
Helocommand rejected: Host not found; from=<pgsql-committers-owner+M30281@postgresql.org> to=<adsmail@wars-nicht.de>
proto=ESMTPhelo=<maia-2.hub.org>
 

a) the ip-address has an invalid (missing) ptr record
b) this server is knowing itself by maia-2.hub.org, which cannot resolved
(but matches the invalid ptr record)
