The code to look at is in e-util/e-host-utils.c as well as
camel/providers/smtp/camel-smtp-transport.c and camel/camel-service.c. 
I would look at doing some g_warning() statements in
camel-smtp-transport.c around line 888 to figure out first what is being
passed to camel_gethostbyaddr(), then figure out what that function is
returning in host (or you could use gdb for this).

It looks like transport->localaddr->address may not be what you think it
is.  You might end up needing to do some kind of smtp masquerading.
