I don't *think* that's the right answer.  It sounds like the problem is
that these automated emails don't have a "To" or "Cc" header at all, in
which case adding more addresses that are accepted as meaning "this
list" in To/Cc won't make a bit of difference.

I think Matthew wants the option immediately before this one: "Must
posts have list named in destination (to, cc) field".  Set it to "No".

Don't do this on a public list, of course, as you'll get lots more spam
this way.  You should probably restrict the list of allowed posters.
