ifmail does not route at all. It just makes packet to the node that
you specify in the `-r' option.

You cannot send ".req as aka", ifcico does not look at the name of the
.req file. Responce packet is always sent in the same session, so
we can take address from the session handshake. Probably, the first
address from EMSI is taken but I cannot tell for sure. See the source
for details.

Apparently 91:13/1 is the primary address on the remote side.
