Are you talking about replacing the From: header?
Short answer: PLEASE do NOT do that! Sometimes there are good reasons to
reply privatly, this would be impossible then.
The long answer would be a large spam-protection vs. usability text, but
currently I don't have the time to write this. Therefore I'll give you
a short summary only: the best (and only) way not to receive spam is
not to have a mail address *g*

PS: If you really think the opensuse lists cause too much spam for you
(I doubt that's the case), use your "regular" mail address for
receiving the list and a nomail subscription with a (short-living)
freemail account you never read (or even a /dev/null address) for
posting ;-)

Ho-hum.
It might have been wise to allow for vulnerabilities that get discovered
during holidays. Worms don't usually keep track of people's vacations.
