I have exim running on my machine to do direct delivery. I know Suresh
and others are advising against this on another thread :-) Till I
realise that people are not receiving my mails, I will keep it that way.
My ISP's mail is not that good and hence this route :-(
Coming back to my problem:
The mail I sent through exim has the ip address of my machine
(203.195.220.221). I connect to yahoo through a browser and then send
the message. Then the ip of my machine is 203.195.196.10 (as seen from
the headers).

My isp is running a proxy server for https. Maybe, there is one set
for http even. I do not know. Is there a way I can find out?
As it stands, I cannot take for granted the ip address as the _actual_
address of the machine that sent the mail.
