Jens,

My somewhat uneducated guess is that your reverse DNS might be behind
this. Notice what I get (apologies for the telnets to your box ;-):

So at least now I have a hint about where the kundenserver.de is
coming from. I'm still not sure why your telnet issue looks the way it
does, and further, I don't see the same thing from here.

I hope this helps.

Cheers!
