[users@httpd] Is IP local or not

I have been told that there is a setting that can check if an IP address is 
local or not, but I can't find anything.

I want to be able to determine if an IP address on inbound mail is from the 
localhost or not.

Sometimes mail from another host arrives and in the header it is declaring 
that the IP address is from localhost when it is not and the results are it 
is getting past some filters.

Anyone know how I can correct this problem?

Are you really talking about apache here?
You can do RewriteRules or RedirectMatch to find if the localhost is hit 
and you want to send it elsewhere.
Not sure what you are trying to do, mentioning mail headers

That seems infinitely more likely. =)

Maybe its not or you would not have asked the question.  Maybe I got my wires 
crossed.  Maybe it is a sendmail question.
