Umm, that is ridiculous. I'm subscribed to over a dozen mailing
lists.  I've used the Internet since the early 90's and have worked in the
industry since 96.  It is defacto standard to put the actual sender in the
From: field.  Otherwise it's impossible to reply directly to the
sender.  Believe it or not, you don't ALWAYS want your message to go to the
entire list...  I've never seen any mailing list, even lists with over 100
thousand subscribers, where the email address is masked.
