So it should work in a way that host=<hostname> and hostip=<ip> is sent. I thought my patch did that.. Normally auth_debug=yes would be enough to debug this, but this happens between director and login process so I don't think it's going to be of much use. login process's client_auth_parse_args() is what should see these two parameters correctly.

I've put an i_warning("*** %s: ...", __FUNCTION__, ...) into several places.

Oct 14 00:02:33 director1 dovecot: director: Warning: *** login_host_callback: OK#0112#011user=foo#011proxy#011ssl=yes#011nopassword=y#011lip=2001:x.y:f33::5:1#011lport=993#011pass=x#011proxy_refresh=450#011host=2001:x.y:f33::5:fe

Here it seems that the director doesn't send it's knowledge about the
hostname.

Here some other output, to show that the host list contains names and addresses:

Oct 14 00:02:32 director1 dovecot: director: Warning: ** mail_host_add: added backends.<domain> [2001:x.y:f33::5:fe]

Oct 14 00:02:32 director1 dovecot: director: Warning: ** mail_host_add: added backends.<domain> [149.x.y.103]
Oct 14 00:02:32 director1 dovecot: director: Warning: ** mail_host_add: added backends.<domain> [149.x.y.102]
