I found this information in the header of a forum mail:

Message-ID: <809da7265bde1ed6fda92037c04f2eaa@www.moodle.de>

X-Mailer: PHPMailer [version Moodle 2005101200]

Precedence: Bulk

List-Id: "Technikforum" <moodleforum27@moodle.de>

List-Help: http://moodle.de/mod/forum/view.php?f=27

Message-Id: <moodlepost764@moodle.de>

In-Reply-To: <moodlepost763@moodle.de>

They don't need to be valid e-mail addresses, they're just unique identifiers that happen to look a bit like e-mail addresses.

The »In-Reply-To« and »References« headers can be used to maintain threading outside Moodle, and the »List-ID« and »List-Help« headers make the messages seem to come from a proper mailing list.
