Aha Grant, you were correct !
during testing and watching the logs, I had a webmail interface open, so
the code in the webmail script residing on the same server as the courier
installation was showing the server's public ip address.

today, we tested imapd-ssl from a smartphone, and the expected public IPv4
addresses were showing up in the log.
thank you, and sorry to all whom I may have wasted your time.
