Hmm... well the host ip and port number of the imcoming message are unique
for the source, so the host could remeber it from the original
registration message, and treat messages from that source as coming from
the UI and not reflect them.

But, I dont think there is a way in the liblo API of getting the address
or port of an incoming message, its a longstanding bug.
