Just being pre-programmed to accept what's expected to be used with it.
The usual 192.168.x.y private address range in use on your LAN, and the
169.254.x.y random link local addresses that get used by default when a
fixed IP isn't set and a DHCP server can't be found (a very basic peer
to peer network with no server, or automatically getting an IP address
when the machine is standalone).

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
