  Hi!

  Is there any way to have Majordomo to hide the posters address when sending
  to a list? I have clear evidences that some of the very established "Free
  Email Address Here" ISP's use some kind of email extractors on all incoming
  and outgoing mail - thus, when a member post from me@isp1.com, he or she
  might soon find their address spammed if ISP2.COM had a 'candid camera'
  directed to incoming mail of me@isp2.com

  One scum company which uses this scheme is http://www.aggies.com They post
  with bogus Compuserve addresses, but love to see the replies sent to
  addresses @aggies.com (which abuse@aggies.com never will close...) (btw,
  I know how to read headers... ;)

  I set up an address with just one purpose: To see whether it was extracted.
  I sent email to a bogus @aggies.org address - and lo and behold! Some days
  later, the address received a nice "Turn your e-mail into a virtual cash
  register!" spam. Well, before I get carried on... Is there any way to have
  Majordomo to hide the posters address when sending to a list? I do consider
  to set subscribe_policy to closed, so that I can investigate when users
  with addresses like bob@webopportunity.net or betty@targetshop.com wants
  to be added to a list...
