I would avoid "X-ip" and consider "X-Exim-Local-IP" or similar.
The idea is to make some effort to avoid collisions in "X-" headers.

Postfix generally has no idea what IP address it is sending from,
because by default we don't explicitly bind to a particular IP
address. There is at present no "getsockname()" to obtain that
once the connection completes, and the local address is not logged.
So rapid adoption of this DSN field seems unlikely.
