So then what's the recommended way to run a POST server on a machine that's
not also your email server without being blacklisted by domains who perform
reverse DNS lookups?

The significance is that iMS asks the OS to use that specified IP address.
However, the OS can override the request.  For example - say you have a
server with two NICs.  One is using an internal subnet and the other is
connected to the internet.  You send mail to a server on the net and request
that the OS use IP 10.1.1.5 as the sending IP.  The OS would override that
and use an IP on the other NIC.

I know this is an extreme example but it illustrates that iMS is requesting
an IP.

BTW - the only way to see if the IP you want is actually being requested is
to look in the log file.

There is no way to guarantee the IP that the OS selects, if that's what you
mean.
