At least for the reports we're getting at torservers, this is exactly
the case. Most webmail providers I know include the sender IP in their
headers.

Jikes... that's sort of strange. Hadn't expected that. Technically I consinder that wrong since the MUA (the thing using SMTP) isn't running at the user's machine and, even more, definitely not at the router next to the server running the webmail. At the other and the webmail providers may be right since the machine really transmitting the message *is* the user's computer. Even though the first hop is made using HTTP instead of SMTP. It's probably their strategy to automatically direct complaints to the next level.

But it's good to know. Before I thought webmail was a bit anonymous.
