The difference is that you don't get the real IP of the client that uses
the mail server but the local IP instead. You really don't want to have
this if you're doing SMTP-after-POP.
I solved the problem by running a wrapper from stunnel that calls exim
with the -oMa option to set the IP though a patch to exim might be a nicer
solution.
