Why should anyone care? For most of us the machine qmail runs on differs
from the one the webserver runs on, so it's another IP anyways. Do
accounting based on qmail's logfiles.

Well, you can patch qmail-remote of course. There's a patch floating around
to let qmail-remote bind to ONE specific IP. If you still insist on your
idea it may be possible to modify this one. But be warned: parsing the
sender's address, getting the domaina nd looking up a IP for it adds a lot
of cruft to the code. This _may_ result in security problems, bad
performance, instability and so on.

Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.
