Is this possible?
I think you are going to be out of luck.
SMTP mail addressing is done in terms of domains, that is the FQDN of mail hosts. For instance MX records are usually specified in respect of FQDNs with nary a IP number in sight. This, for instance, this allows mail hosts on private IP numbers to function so long as some publicly IP numbered mail relay with access to that internal network will relay mail for the privately IP numbered mail host. Most MTAs check the acceptability of domains in mail addresses by doing DNS lookup.
I do not think using IP numbers instead of FQDNs is going to work but I am open to being corrected.
What problem are you trying to solve with your proposal?
Thanks,
Kirk
