Due to the way that email is delivered by a mail server, you don't know 
the exact destination IP address until you're actually in the process of 
delivering the message. So you can't match against a destination IP 
address in a rule. So all rules that say
To: 123.123.123.123 yes
or anything similar are impossible to implement. It's not a restriction 
in what MailScanner can do, you really don't know the destination IP 
address until the message has been delivered. By which time it's too late.
