Mark provides the practical stuff.  Here's some theory.

"Completely" is a really hard problem given that some people obfuscate
their addresses in .signatures and in text, and the difficulty of
recognizing personal names.

There's also the fact that an anonymous list is a flag that you've got
people who want to be anonymous.  A big bullseye for troublemakers
(and the FBI, the MSS, and the GRU).

Sure, but the cost is extremely high.  I like to know who's posting.

Someone started talking about the risk of having their names and email 
addresses archived in a publicly accessible mailing list.  So I thought I'd 
ask.  In short, the proposal provided for completely removing such data, to 
protect privacy.  See here for more:
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/dmarc/fEi0-1NFP-rkrx70Ne1t7fPzldA
(There are more threads there mentioning Mailman, in case your ears are 
burning.)

As an additional bonus, that would also "solve" any DMARC problem.

Is there a FAQ entry for this?
