Question: I have multiple email accounts. Can I post messages to a list from any of my accounts?

Answer:

If the list to which you are subscribed restricts postings to subscribers, any account from which you post messages will need to be subscribed. You can subscribe your other accounts at the list's information page:

http://mailman.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/listname
where "listname" is replaced with the actual name of the list.

Now, you will want to edit the options for your subscriptions, so that only one of them will receive postings from the list. At the very bottom of the listinfo page for the list, there should be a line that begins with "To unsubscribe from...". At this point, you should decide which addresses should receive postings and which should not. Take one that should not, and enter it as directed. Click on the button that says "Unsubscribe or edit options." You will then be asked for your list Password. If you entered an @u.washington.edu email address, follow the link to the UW login and log in with your UW NetID and password. Otherwise, enter your subscriber password.

At the next screen, scroll down until you see "Your listname Subscription Options." Under "Mail Delivery," check the button that says "Disabled." Then scroll down and click on the button that says "Submit My Changes."

You should repeat this process for any email addresses that you do not want postings sent to, but would like to be able to send postings from.
