I don't think it's the same. In your first method, you put a
filter rule in that allows email to a widely known address.
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] accept
In the second method, you put in a filter list that allows email from
a widely known address.
from [EMAIL PROTECTED] accept
In both cases, the address is well known. Anyone who subscribes to
the list is going to know that address. What I was suggesting was
that you subscribe to the list with a tmda generated keyword address.
For example, the output from:
tmda-address -k coollist
With most (but not all) lists, this will allow you to send email
to the list using the keyword address in the envelope and using
a bare address in the from header. When you do this, the only
people who know about your keyword address are the list admins.
Everyone on the list just thinks you're using your normal email
address. And if you want to be kind to your fellow list members,
you can set a reply-to header with a dated address.

I subscribe to this list with a keyword address that looks something
like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
But if you look at any email from me, you won't see that
keyword address anywhere. What you'll see is a bare address
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) in the from header, and a dated address in the
reply-to header. I did this by subscribing to tmda-users with a
keyword address and then I set an outgoing tmda filter:
to [email protected] tag
envelope keyword=tmdausers
from bare
reply-to dated
This works because the list server checks the envelope address
to determine if you're allowed to post. Most list servers work
this way, but not all. You have to be careful and do a little bit
of experimentation to figure out how exactly a given list server
does it.

Does that clear up what I was saying? Or have I missed again?
