Correct but it only does this at the IP level, not at the SMTP protocol
level.
In other words, Windows IP gets the TCP connection from the load balancer's
IP but the SMTP protocol (Payload of the TCP communication) shows the
sending SMTP server in any of the communication.

So it sounds like I need to configure DSR.
