Something's fishy here.
IMail stores each E-mail in the spool as two separate files. The D*.SMD
file contains the actual E-mail (body and headers), with nothing else. The
Q*.SMD file contains routing information for the E-mail. The Q*.SMD file
won't normally contain IP addresses in it. The D*.SMD file is just the
actual E-mail -- and IMail won't use anything in there for routing.
So changing an IP address in one of the spool files shouldn't cause the
E-mail to get delivered.
