Can't say about other maillist software, but the software that runs the
@ietf.org lists allows this, you can subscribe from as many addresses as
you want, and only get mail sent to a single address...

This works well for people that can't control what their company does as
far as @foo.company.com where foo seems to change quite a bit...

Subject: postings to ietf mailing lists

i have noticed that some ietf working groups don't anymore allow
postings except from addresses that have subscribed to the list.  this
not good unless there is a way to register another email address from
which postings are allowed.  the reason is that many people don't want
to get any mailing list traffic to their personal mail boxes and
therefore have subscribed an alias rather than their own personal email
address.

could it be made a policy of ietf mailing lists to include support for a
posting address that is not the same as subscription address?  some
mailing lists already do this, but not all.
