Logwatch?

I am running F9 with denyhosts and my deny.hosts file has a lot of 
entries. I'm getting the following log entries for sendmail:

     warning: /etc/hosts.deny, line 2305: can't verify hostname: 
getaddrinfo(121.246.40.136.dynamic-hyderabad.vsnl.net.in, AF_INET) 
failed: 1 Time(s)
     warning: /etc/hosts.deny, line 2305: can't verify hostname: 
getaddrinfo(Dynamic-IP-1901573270.cable.net.co, AF_INET) failed: 1 Time(s)

This is line 2305 in deny.hosts:

ALL: 83.72.199.48.ip.tele2adsl.dk

I don't really know what the log message means.  Why would it specify 
line 2305 but then show another address in the log message?  Any 
enlightenment would be appreciated.

Thanks,
