There was discussion about something similar on the mailing list about a 
month ago.  Search list archives for thread with "Configurable Received: 
header behavior" subject line.  There's also pointer to one previous 
discussion about this topic somewhere inthere.

In short:

Bug is in the way SpamAssassin parses Received headers.  There's nothing 
wrong with IMP's Received header.  Most ISPs will add Received header 
containing client's IP address.  For example, my ISP (Shaw Cable) is 
doing that, and I haven't had any problems with it.  Almost all other 
webmail applications and webmail portals I'm aware of will add client's 
IP address in first Received header.

IMO, instead of "fixing" IMP (and all other webmail and MTA 
applications) to work in non-RFC compliant way, SpamAssassin should be 
fixed.

If you need quick workaround without changing IMP's source, it was also 
discussed in mentioned thread.
