Do you put public IP addresses on every single device of yours? Or are some devices configured with private ranges for internal movement (public bridghead e-mail vs. internal databases?)
Or is everything internal private, and you simply NAT for public accessible parts. Seeing those addresses in the the e-mail header of an application is not an indication of what is seen out on the 'Net. Just an indication of what that specific device saw. I would guess (hope?) that most, if not all, providers filter the RFC1918 space addresses from entering or leaving their networks unchecked. But just my two cents there...
