+OK <1574b161e2e25c61dae6abdd184cd863@coredump>

It would seem that thins break if you have "0.0.0.0" as the listen
address.

Jun 30 19:22:48 coredump tpop3d[28365]: listener_new: gethostbyaddr(0.0.0.0): cannot resolve name
Jun 30 19:22:48 coredump tpop3d[28365]: listener_new: 0.0.0.0: no domain suffix can be appended for this address
Jun 30 19:22:48 coredump tpop3d[28365]: listener_new: 0.0.0.0: using fallback domain suffix `coredump'
Jun 30 19:22:48 coredump tpop3d[28365]: listening on address 0.0.0.0, port 110, domain coredump
