Yes, it is auto white listed for acceptance. In other words, when the
client issues:
RCPT TO: <list-name @ list-host.com>
it will checked as an normal user (alias) and accepted.

Normally, once it accepted (1st question via RCPT TO:), then the mail
is pass to a list server and it will check for member subscription.
I guess if the RECEIVER is a List Server SMTP Server, then its
database will be easily accessible to do a member check at SMTP level.
