Hi,
Two questions
1) when a user makes a new post, I (as a moderator) receive an email with the posters ip address.
I'm a bit of a privacy freak and would rather this didn't appear in the email. Is there a way to change this ?
2) who else would receive this ip address - subscriptions? Other mods?
Thanks in advance

This only appears to those admins/moderators signed up for admin notification emails. It will never be seen by your ordinary forum members
Interestingly - and typically! - this was actually added after much lobbying by our users!

but there is a filter that can be used to strip it out from the emails to admins/mods if you really wanted... but as Andy says, no regular users will see IP addresses...

I guess you cant please all of the people all of the time ... especially not webmasters 🙂
Could you tell me how I go out about setting up that filter?

The filter in question is 'sph_admin_email'. This passes 3 arguments: The $message (which, of course, is what needs to be returned), The $newpost array which contains the entire set of data for the new post. And an $id which is the user id of the admin the email is being compiled for.
So the IP address would then need to be extracted from the $message and the modified $message returned as a result. Not ideal and probably a case for a regular expression. Oh how I hate those!
For reference these filters are standard WordPress hooks and their use is described in the WP codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API
