How can it possibly matter if my laptop is sending from a Panera Bread hotspot
or a hotel room where it hasn't been before and probably won't be again? Any
decision you make based on that information is almost certainly going to be
wrong or biased by unrelated things done by other people at some other time.
The relevant piece of information is that I authenticated to the server that
sent the message.
