IF the mail is received by the mail server from the localhost, that's
the IP Address of localhohst. Your outlook is probably running on your
desktop, which is presumably NOT the mail server, and so it records the
"remote" IP of your desktoip.

Since the mail headers contain the actual IP address of your mail server
when the message is received by another mail server, it shouldn't be a
problem.. I've never noticed any such problems with outbound CF mail. I
just verified that my cf server sends mail that includes a Received from
localhost line.
