No. To do so would be a violation of internet email Standard RFC822 (and the
newer RFC2822). LISTSERV generally will obey all applicable internet email
standards and will not allow you to do something non-standard like this. This
standard requires there be a (syntactically) valid email address in the To:
and From: fields of any email message. The From: address represents the
author of the message. The To: field contains the List-Address. There may
also (optionally) be a descriptive name (such as the List title in To: and the
user's name in From:) in addition to the required email address.
Even if you could cause LISTSERV to do this, most anti-spam filters will
discard the email as malformed (non-standard and therefore likely to be spam)
so many of your messages won't get delivered.

If/when this occurs, it is strictly a function of the user's email client
program (typically a Microsoft mail client such as yours:
X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1437)
and has nothing to do with any settings in LISTSERV.
