As you have seen, the list owner is not a member by default and has no
special posting privileges. See the FAQ at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/5YA9>.

What you have done works OK, but it is subject to unauthorized posts
from someone spoofing your address which will be well known if your
list is not anonymous. A more secure way to post is to not put your
address in accept_these_nonmembers, and post with an Approved:
<password> header. See the "How to post to the announcement list"
section at <http://wiki.list.org/x/3YA9>.
