The  last Received: header is added, as you might imagine, by the last
receiving  server. Except when you hack that last mail server to forge
it,  it  is  the  one  header  that  is  reliable,  as  it is based on
socket-level  information. If it's saying that a given IP connected to
it,  you  still  have  that  IP  on  your originating box. If it's the
primary IP address of a given NIC, that'll be problematic--why have it
around at all if it's not in use?

Also  be  aware that "Bind to IP" was only recently hotfixed (I myself
haven't verified it), so don't count on it yet to fix this problem.
