How does that look like in the log file?

I=[nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn]*


2. I see log lines like these:

2020-12-27 08:02:06 1ktQ44-0074VW-Qi => [email protected] <[email protected]> 
F=<...> R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp ...
2020-12-27 17:39:25 1ktZ4m-008ljc-Is => [email protected] <[email protected]> 
F=<...> R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp ...

It's not documented what these two addresses mean.

http://exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-log_files.html#SECTlogselector
Section 7:

"For ordinary local deliveries, the original address is given in angle brackets 
after the final delivery address, which might be a pipe or a file. If intermediate 
address(es) exist between the original and the final address, the last of these is given 
in parentheses after the final address."


Which of the two addresses, if present, is the one I should care about?

You haven't defined what you care about.
