Poor, but it might be usable.

Hmmm, most of the spammers do that. Has one been prosecuted?
The mail would come from vger, and it would have these headers intact:
> From owner-linux-kernel-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Tue Nov 19 17:17:31 1996
> Sender: owner-linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu
Is that good enough? I'm not a UK resident, so the transmission
to vger is legal. I would not pretend to be someone else.
I still think the gateway and archives should obscure addresses.
I find spam in my mailbox every day, all of it because this list
exposes my address on usenet.
Does anybody remember why we use a mailing list instead of a
newsgroup? Because vger has too much extra CPU power? :-)
No, because we like to avoid spam and dumb questions. Oh, and
because email is faster in theory.
