For monitoring purposes I would like to add the IP address to the Postfix smtpd_banner:

smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $smtp_bind_address

which works and outputs:

220 mail.mydomain.com ESMTP 123.456.789.0

Now I am wondering if there are any (negative) repercussions to expect. I couldn't find anything about it in the RFC docs.

The Postfix docs add another parameter ($mail_name) in their example, so I think I am fine. I just want to verify that my syntax is correct and is allowed.
