The "unknown" in the Received: header needs to have the domain in it,
so you'll either need to do internal DNS entries or possibly
/etc/hosts entries on the mailserver. The reverse lookup on the
client's IP address needs to return useful information (a FQDN that
supports the sender's email domain).

e.g., an /etc/hosts entry on the mail server:

   10.39.2.158	giovanni.inter.it

If they're assigned using DHCP, don't assign specific names:

   10.39.2.158  lnet-158.inter.it
