Yes, it does help (once I'd instructed Exim to listen on all interfaces,
anyway).
Before, the last two received headers were:
Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1])
by rilynn.demon.co.uk with esmtp (Exim 4.50)
id 1EFINH-0005b9-AF
for roger at rilynn.demon.co.uk; Tue, 13 Sep 2005 22:31:31 +0100
Received: from pop3.demon.co.uk
by localhost with POP3 (fetchmail-6.2.5.2)
for roger at rilynn.demon.co.uk (multi-drop); Tue, 13 Sep 2005 22:31:31+0100 (BST)
Now, I get:
Received: from rilynn.demon.co.uk ([80.177.15.151])
by rilynn.demon.co.uk with esmtp (Exim 4.50)
id 1EFIU2-0005iG-4f

Received: from pop3.demon.co.uk
by rilynn.demon.co.uk with POP3 (fetchmail-6.2.5.2)
for roger at rilynn.demon.co.uk (multi-drop); Tue, 13 Sep 2005 22:38:30+0100 (BST)
It also makes bounce messages clearer:
Reporting-MTA: dns; rilynn.demon.co.uk
Thanks,
Roger
PS. I've only just noticed that Fetchmail doesn't give the numeric IP
address for the upstream server (eg
"Received: from pop3.demon.co.uk ([194.217.242.253])"). I'm not bothered
about it, but it is something other MTAs include.
