mean mailing list moderator ..
There is a simple solution to this kind of problem - for my non-day-job-related software stuff, I usually subscribe under my sourceforge address. Sourceforge's is simple re-direction service so I actually cannot post from it; but I like incoming e-mails to go through sourceforge for a double spam filter. So e-mails come in through sourceforge but replied under my real address if I do, and it get held occasionally in the past depending on the mailing list policies. The solution I found is this: subscribe both addresses, but disabling delivery to the real-one. (this can be done by the user, no admin required). This way I can post from the real one, but receive twice-filtered mailing-list e-mails through an alias. (For R-devel, I am receiving and posting from my day-job address, if you are wondering...)

More than a year ago, I had changed R-devel policy to
1) subscribers can post freely
2) everything else is on "hold" for moderator approval +)
3) ``spam-suspicious e-mails'' are also put "on hold".
Now your problem is that you are subscribed under a different
e-mail address than the one you are currently sending mail from
(and also use in your sig. below).
To the mailing list software (mailman) this is equivalent to a
non-subscriber.
+) the moderator can **manually** add non-subscriber
addresses to a list which is treated as "allowed to post"
and I could do this next time ...
but my general attitude is that r-devel subscribers should
make these things work...
Best regards,
Martin
