why is the header reflecting LOCALHOST?

sqwebmail submits outgoing mail using the shell script 'sendit.sh'. As far as your mail system is concerned, it is submitted by a local user.

You can update sendit.sh to add extra headers if you wish; for instance you can add a header which includes $REMOTE_ADDR. Or your MTA may have a flag which you can pass to set this info (I think exim does).

Probably it would have been wise for the default sendit.sh to include this functionality. At the moment, default installs of sqwebmail don't record the source IP of the sender anywhere in the outgoing message.
