I depends on what you want. I would prefer the approach to report the
source route used as sendmail does it. Though at the moment there is a
problem in the code Wietse Venema uses and in the code from sendmail.
If you just want to clean the socket options the code in the tcp wrapper
would be useable.

That might be true for you. Afaik AIX, Sun and HP/UX come with source
routes enabled per default. And there are some useful things you can do
with source routes, at least for network debugging.
