Why do you believe that the listener session is bound to 127.0.0.1?
The nmtrapd which actually binds the port accepts traps from any IP
address.

Since the protocol between scotty and nmtrap does not allow to specify
which port to bind to. If you want to filter traps based on IP address
(which you of course can not trust), then you have to do it in the Tcl
binding.
