If your configuration is set to use envelope sender to verify list
membership for posting, i.e.

  USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER = Yes

in mm_cfg.py, you can put anything you want in the From: address if
your MUA/MTA allow it as long as the envelope is from a member. This
may not provide anonymity however as Received: headers and possibly
X-Authentication-Warning: may reveal the true sender to the list.
