Given the existence of anonymous remailers, mail forwarding, redistribution
lists, and similar, I doubt this could be done.  Even if you *could* force
all the addresses *on the list* to appear, you have no way of knowing if
one of them is actually forwarded to an anonymous remailer that then feeds
into a mail forwarder that sends it to a redistribution list....
 
You might wish to talk to the list owner and find out exactly *why* he
wants it 'completely open" - is there a problem (real or percieved) that
he is attempting to address?
