I tend to avoid that, because it just invites some people to have a go.
However, in most posts to a mailing list your IP is in the mail
headers.

I remember my early forays into the net.  Almost any time you did a
public post, you'd see a slew of connected attempts reported by the
firewall, very shortly after.  Bots watch public arenas, and just
automatically tried to penetrate any addresses they thought were
currently on-line.
