Milter-greylist

I'm getting this error from milter-greylist for some messages:

smfi_getsymval failed for {if_addr}

It seems it happens each time a message is from 127.0.0.1. I'm not sure 
from the code whether this happens each time an IP doesn't have a 
hostname. I suppose not. 127.0.0.1 has a hostname in /etc/hosts, anyway. 
It happens only on two machines which have the same (older) platform and 
sendmail.
What could be the reason?

It does not come from 127.0.0.1, it comes from stdin. This is not a real
error: there is really no IP address.

Ah, I see, thanks! Yeah, now that you mention that, it's the PHP mail() 
function and some formmail stuff directly injecting to sendmail.
