I don't think I was advocating not logging the IP address.

      (envelope to/from and which mail server
       it was being sent from and received by)

While I didn't explicitly say the IP address of the mail server, it was my 
intent that the IP addresses of server/client (as reported in the maillog, 
and as shown in my previous example) would be used, along with the email 
addresses (from the envelope, not from the message body).

Like you, I'm not talking about specifics of what was (or was not) in my 
DRIP.
