All right, after reading the manual for GNU Mailman (the software
this list uses) you CAN toggle off senders email addresses:

<http://staff.imsa.edu/~ckolar/mailman/mailman-administration-v2.html>

Under section 'Membership exposure':

Description: Show member addrs so they're not directly recognizable
as email addrs?

Value: This is a nice feature that discourages theft of lists: the
membership list does not  show actually addresses but instead shows
participants as "username at foo.com". This should block most harvesters
if they manage to get through to the listing.
