Postfix: Illegal address from unknown sender


I got this alert from my maillog postfix

mail postfix/smtpd[13563]: warning: hostname riservata.miami19.mia.seabone.net does not resolve to address 195.22.199.54: Name or service not known

Do you think this is a security concern?

How to prevent this to happen again.

TIA

Don't bother.
This is common for mail-servers sending spam.
