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 <glawson@rhcl.org> wrote:
Make it optional at most (syspref), off by default.

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. Do you think : 1- we could 2- we should 3- we shouldn't
(and why)
I start arguing = I think we should, and in France, I think it's a legal issue, you must be able to answer any legal request from a court (9-11, thank you :\ ) It's right we have the username, but the IP address is a good complement
