They are not talking about your posting to the list - of course that works - how could they stop it ? They are talking about your posting being fwded to the protected user - support@ whatever it was.

That's not the way I read it as I have explained.

I have used a system like this - my real account only recieved email from addresses I authorised or white listed unless the sender sent a second mail to the intecepting email server.

That's what I think this is.
