I'm not a deputy, but until one comes along I'll kibitz.

66.6.223.34  rDNS  web19.thehostingnet.com   is not currently SC
blocklisted according to the web based SCbl lookup^1, in spite of the
fact that external db lookups such dnsstuff and senderbase show it to be
SCbl/ed when I looked at 4:49 PM PDT (-0700 UTC)

The parser is designed to not name the server if there is a user IP
'behind' the item.  Typically servers get named because of backscatter;
misdirected bouncing to bogus spam Froms, out of office autoresponders
to bogus Froms, viral propagation notifications to bogus Froms.

If your server makes newmails addressed to Froms under any of those
circumstances, that will get the server listed.  See
