IP address is not sufficiently rigourous to identify and individual or even a location (TOR network and all that). It's routinely mis-used as such an identifier. I don't see any benefit to adding it to Koha's outgoing emails, since it cannot be relied upon, and it could put people at risk of ill-advised legal sanction.
If there is a strong use case for it, it would need to go behind a syspref, with the default value set to "disable". But personally I don't think it's worth including. -Ian On Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 1:37 PM, glaws <[email protected]> wrote: > Make it optional at most (syspref), off by default. > > Greg > ---------------------- > > On 07/03/2012 11:17 AM, Paul Poulain wrote: > > Hello Koha users & developers, > > > > The bug 3280 fixes a problem in cart sending in opac : the behaviour has > > changed, and for security reason, it will be possible only for logged-in > > users. > > A question has also been raised : we could also add the IP address of > > the sender in the mail that Koha sent.
