The concern is that a post as archived and delivered to list members
should have nothing in it's headers (including things like From:,
Received:, Message-ID, etc.) that identify the poster or the poster's
domain. This is a function of the core. Postorius is not involved nor
are the archivers as the post has been anonymized before it gets to an
archiver.
I don't know that much about email, but shouldn't each message contain a
message ID?
Every EMail will have a Message-ID, but the rules for generating the
Message-ID (must be globally unique) tends to mean that its construction
will reveal a bit about the source (very likely a domain connected to
the sender). It might just indicate that they send via gmail, and that
doesn't tell you much, but with some mail systems it might actually leak
out the email of the poster. (Yes, you could say just don't use those,
but it is helpful to build the system to keep anonymity without people
understanding this level of details).
To totally anonymize a message, you want to replace the Message-ID with
one generated by the list, thus every message will have the same sort of
Message-ID, removing its ability to trace back (somewhat) to the poster.
