Interestingly, news.nntp4.net does not resolve back to that IP, it uses
2001:41d0:700:1273::
That's probably why the "reverse lookup validation failed"
otherwise someone could map their IP to any name they like
to get around hostname based access control.
MTAs have done that kind of check "for ages".
BTW: does the DNS resolver used by nnrpd give the expected
result for your own IP?
