That's why the setting is called anonymous_list. You arenn't supposed
to be able to determine who sent a post from the received post or the
archives.

The only place you can find this information is in mailman's 'post'
log. For each post, there will be an entry like "post to <LISTNAME>
from <contents of original From: header> anonymized".

If you don't have access to the Mailman logs on the server, you will
have to get this information from someone who does.
