 Would be great if you could "mask" the mail path the mail took to get TO
 the mx of lists.tpo.

 By doing this the first (chronologically) 'Received' header field would
 always look something like:

 {{{
 Received: from eugeni.torproject.org ([127.0.0.1])
         by localhost (eugeni.torproject.org [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new,
         port 10024)
         with ESMTP id hH68UBL5Ouwu for <tor-talk at lists.torproject.org>;
         Tue, 12 May 2012 12:34:56 +0000 (UTC)
 }}}

 I think it would enhance the privacy of mailing list subscribers which do
 send emails to the lists, because an email wouldn't leak the current
 IP/exit node of the sender to all subscribers anymore.
