I am not quite sure what you are saying here, but if you send a mail while in 
that particular mailing list environment, it changes your "identity" 
automatically so it is sent with the proper identity and will not bounce. 

If you just send a brand new message in general, and put in the mailing list 
address, click on the identity drop down list and make sure the proper 
subscribed "identity" is sending it.

Hope this helps and clears things up a little bit.
