 Right now we're receiving messages over a pipe and as far as I see we're not
 using any environment or command line parameter (beside the script name) so
 where's this SMTP magic?
	You mean the envelope sender address?  The IP address of the 
envelope sender?

 Fetchmail would pass exactly the same bytestream over the same pipe, or do I
 miss something?
	Yup.  Fetchmail loses exactly the same information, in exactly 
the same way.  As soon as the message is written to a mailbox 
somewhere, you lose the envelope information.  So, retrieving the 
mailbox via POP3 doesn't work.
