I added a variable 'anonymous_list' that, if set, causes From, Sender

and Reply-To to get stripped out and replaced with: From:
list-admin@...
This one could potentially be something where if the admin enables
anonymous posting, it could be a per-sender option.
However, I added this because the guy from the Dave Matthews Band home
office wants to be able to post to an announcement list without
changing his email setup, yet not get email in his personal mailbox
from tons of fans.  I figure others may have similar needs.
