    | Argument | Description | 
|---|
 | ctx | the opaque context structure. |  | hostname | the host name of the message sender, as determined by a
	    reverse lookup on the host address.  If the reverse lookup
	    fails, hostname will contain the message sender's IP
	    address enclosed in square brackets (e.g. `[a.b.c.d]'). |  | hostaddr | the host address, as determined by a getpeername() call on the SMTP socket.
	 NULL if the type is not supported in the current version or if
	the SMTP connection is made via stdin. |  | 
|---|
| NOTES | If an earlier filter rejects the connection in its xxfi_connect()
routine, this filter's xxfi_connect() will not be called. |
