'Impossible' might not be the completely correct word ... but it comes
near to the meaning of 'impossible' to do that.

Have a look at various mail headers and try to define _what exactly_ the
senders IP address is. Try to write a match like

(static text that's always there)(THIS_IS_THE_IP_I_WANT)(other static
text)

with the several possibilities for the static texts ... you'll see: it's
really hard.

Now comes the best: you'll figure out you can take the 'Received:'
header, which can be spread across multiple lines, but thats a different
problem ... Wrong! One can insert 'faked' Received headers at sender
side ... so all in all it's a quite to complex issue to solve it
effective with only using TB! marcos and still _really_ complex when
trying this for example with calling a Perl script.
