[CLUE-Tech] sendmail frustrations

[Mike Staver]

Ok, the sendmail server is 64.242.89.17, and when I'm logged in, it
clearly shows my ip address:

staver   pts/0        Thu Dec 13 22:46 - 22:54  (00:08)    
216.150.207.155
staver   pts/3        Thu Dec 13 22:19 - 22:54  (00:35)    
216.150.207.155
staver   pts/2        Thu Dec 13 22:13 - 22:21  (00:08)    
216.150.207.155
staver   pts/0        Thu Dec 13 21:48 - 22:45  (00:57)    
216.150.207.155

So.... I know my ip for things like ssh and telnet, why would it be any
different for smtp?
