How to get SMTPSVC to publish IP

I have a server that delivers email to our gateway server but it does not publish it's corresponding IP address in the email headers.  Is there a way to configure the SMTP service so that it will provide the IP address in the headers?

Is it's host name newweb1?

Does it IP address have a PTR record that resolves to newweb1?

Yes. That's the host name.
I checked and I can't find a place to replace the host name with an IP address.  Hopefully somebody else knows how to.

I don't think it's a replacement.  Usually the SMTP headers will display both the host or DNS name and the IP address.  For example..

Gotcha. It looks like my SMTP headers are missing a hop which would show the reverse DNS lookup of newweb1.
The correct message flow is: Newweb1 --> filter.company.com --> asap.company.com
But from the example below you can see that the SMTP headers never shows the handoff from newweb1 to filter
