The mailing list actually does allow anonymous posts to a degree.
The From header does not have to match the Envelope FROM and can be
whatever one desires, including a bogus address. All that matters to the
mailing list software is that the Envelope FROM matches what's in the
MLM database.
I exploit this feature by making my From different from the email
address that is actually subscribed to the mailing list; notice that
here my actual subscriber email address is never exposed:
https://marc.info/?l=fossil-users&m=153400926421821&w=2
If I had wanted, I could have put entirely bogus information in the From
and the MLM would still send the email as long as the Envelope FROM is
correct---only the MLM owner knows my Envelope From and it is not
exposed to anyone.
