This is not serious. It just means that the pop daemon you are using
cannot reverse resolve the client's IP to a hostname.
Do you have local DNS set up? If so have you set up a reverse resolution
zone for that IP range?
Generally it would be a zone 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. with PTR records for
each IP in the zone pointing to the host name.
