Not just with majordomo. We created a completely anonymous list for internal
test use. We used majordomo and exim (http://www.exim.org) as the MTA. We
stripped out virtually all the headers. The list was however still moderated
for any 'rude words' :-) It worked well, we figured that the only
'non-anonymous' bit was the message passing through the MTA which logged its
sender and recipient (the majordomo list), but only the postmasters have
access to those logs. We figured we may have been able to do something about
that logging too. The list is no longer available.

Regards,

John.
