Why do you need/want to post anonymously?  The pretty much goes against
everything in this forum about spamming!!  Just a thought.

Well,  it's  like this: you sent the message, so it's using your MUA's
settings  for  Reply-To:  and  From:.  You  can  change your From: and
Reply-To:  addresses  on your local workstation, or create a secondary
profile  that  impersonates  someone  else  (i.e. the list's address),
provided  that  (a)  your  SMTP  server  lets  you send without having
particular  information  in  these  fields  (i.e., it relays by source
address  and  just  logs  your  IP) and (b) the list accepts mail from
anyone too.

Note  that  even  if  your setup meets these requirements, I'd have to
come  out  against not providing a valid return address on e-mail sent
to  a  list.  It doesn't have to be your primary address...maybe you'd
prefer  to  have  a bit-bucket webmail address or something...but come
on,  what if the list server wants to send something right back to you
(as poster, not as subscriber), like "Your message is HTML and has not
been  accepted"--you  could create some unhappy people (i.e., everyone
on the list).
