Basically exim will be using the getpeername() call to get a sockaddr
and then printing up the ip address... its hard to see how exim could
be getting this so wrong...
Have you got something else on the box, such as a pop daemon which also
implements the now pretty much unused post commands that were proposed
for pop, or a stunnel like program accepting SMTP over SSL and not
setting the peer address right?
Or is there IPv6 involved and something not supporting it?
What OS? Prebuilt exim or self built (could have mismatched libraries)
etc.
