You could still be having DNS issues...especially if you are using
ident.  Check the xinetd.d POP startup stuff (typically
/etc/xinetd.d/ipop3) and see if you have something like

	log_on_* += HOST

If so, delete the HOST bit or comment out the line(s).  That causes a
reverse DNS lookup to be done for the client so the client FQDN can
be logged.
