No. Your IP address does not relay mail to you.

trusted_networks is assumed to have *mail servers* relaying mail to you. Not 
each and every client machine in your ISP's address space. Not yours, nor your 
neigbors.

Yes, if that mailrelay.embarq.synacor.com is your ISP's mx receiving mail sent 
to you.

I did 

    $ host -t mx embarqmail.com

and it said 

    embarqmail.com mail is handled by 10 smtp.embarq.synacor.com.

$ host mailrelay.embarq.synacor.com
        mailrelay.embarq.synacor.com has address 208.47.184.3

$ host smtp.embarq.synacor.com
        smtp.embarq.synacor.com has address 208.47.184.2

I don't understand what is this "mailrelay", it might be the sending server, 
but that mx host "smtp" at least should be trusted.

Better to put those both to your trusted_networks, I guess.
