Roundcube does not add IP address information into sent emails

Question

Usually the mail client is supposed to add IP information into emails, in order for the sender to be tracked. But when you send emails from Roundcube Webmail/0.8.4+, the IP address of the server is the only one present in the email, which makes it impossible to track the sender or his/her location. Isn't this a flaw in the system? Is this by design or is it a bug? What can be done to solve this, ie. to enable adding IP addresses in emails sent via Roundcube webmail?

You can configure this in main.inc.php:

// add a received header to outgoing mails containing the creators IP and hostname $rcmail_config['http_received_header'] = true;

Take a look at this before you change the default settings: https://blog.ageispolis.net/email-headers/ – Dusan Bajic Sep 25 '14 at 13:00
Great, but who cares? Better keep important info in emails to help tracking. Who needs to hide their identities anyway? – Robin Rodricks Sep 25 '14 at 13:08
