I'm not entirely convinced of the need to add both addresses (personal &
functional/positional) as list-members: I'd be more inclined to add the
address to which you wish to send (the positional, yes?) as
list-members, and add their "real" email address (the personal) as an
authorized-sender.

(or add a wild-card: q.v., http://is.gd/rdxK, &c.)

It is, -- or rather, "it ought to be" -- moderately easy to automate the
process of keeping the authorized_senders list up-to date (with a bit of
scripting foo, and command-line/cron access); or if it's not one of
those things that changes often, to keep as a manual process.
