Yes. Don't include your real address in your from header.
You have to include a real address, otherwise the list kicks it back and
won't post it.  Only subscribed members can post.
Nope. The list checks the envelope sender address, not what's in the From
header.

Fair enough.  Possibly even true.  I'll admit I haven't tried it.

Is there a handy mailer that can create envelopes with values different
from the body?  Sending mail as root on the command line doesn't count
as "handy."

So trying to keep this thread relevant to Fedora, is there one in
Fedora?  I use Thunderbird, so I'm pretty sure that won't do it.

With apologies to Allen, I take this chance to show just how easy it is to forge email.

For those interested in checking whether this is a forgery (or at last from a different source from the one I'm quoting), just check the headers.

The key point is that it's trivial to set an alternative identity (I'm using seamonkey which might be another clue I'm not Allen), but Thunderbird can do it too.
