Of course, I see that now, not sure how I missed it. So it looks like I
have two options if I want this to work:
1. Set the host using the router option instead of a transport option.
2. Modify deliver.c to print the host information for local transports
from host_used if it is set, like it already does for remote transports.
Seems like the second option is the better choice. Thanks for the help.
