Not true. Think of it by analogy to a telephone system. The IP addresses in
the headers are equivalent to caller-id. That's not a bad system.
Imagine now, that I were establishing a public system where I asked people
to report on incoming phone calls. Would you be happy for your phone number
to be listed with reports on how happy people were to get your calls? On a
public database? Perhaps you would - but it's not so obvious that everyone
would.
Now, I'm not arguing that anything you're doing *is* illegal. Just that you
might be wrong to state categorically that it is legal without being
specific about the jurisdiction.

Actually, I did. Thanks so much for the advice, though.
