A client that can't find out the hostname should send "[ip.ad.dr.ess]" as HELO or EHLO string. But since the square brackets were considered unsafe qmail-smtpd mangled them to ? in the Received line actually written to the mail.

I have a bunch of emails with [] in Received, I don't see how it does harm. 👍

sqmail also allows spaces, btw.
