Yes, we created an anonymous mailing list which was moderated. It was, as
far as I could tell, completely anonymous except for possibly tracing
messages using the Message-ID: header in the mailhub logs. We had to
configure the MTA (Exim) to remove/add headers before it reached
majordomo. It worked well - it was a test that lasted for about 4 days. SO
it is possible, but you will need to fiddle with the MTA as well.
