Mautic Gravatar issue - Anonymous contacts automatically added

[michaelmm7]

I have installed the newest Mautic version (3.1.2) with Cloudron.

Everytime I access Mautic, it keeps adding anonymous contacts. The anynomous contacts can be seen by clicking on the little person icon on the right upper corner on the contacts page.

In the details I can see that this contact is created by accesing the avatar image.

I tracked the IP Address and it is the IP of Automattic, which also is owner of Gravatar. So I think here is the issue.

I installed Mautic with cloudron and didn't change the standard configuration, so I assume here is a bug. Mautic is automatically adding anynomous contacts.

Hi, it looks like this is an issue in the standard of Mautic:
