"approving" messages to unmoderated lists

I have an unmoderated SmartList mailing list with foreign_submit off.  On 
a few occasions, subscribers have sent messages to the list, and have 
copied people who are not on the list.  When those people respond, their 
messages bounce to the list maintainer (i.e. me).

What's the right way to approve those messages, so that they do go to the 
list?

I tried setting an Approved header, as you would if the list were 
moderated and the person was subscribed.  This would work in Majordomo, 
regardless of whether the person were subscribed or the list were 
moderated.  However, the message bounces back to me, presumably because 
the person is not subscribed.

I've managed to do it by adding the person's e-mail address to accept2, 
and reforwarding the message to the list.  I'm not crazy about this as a 
solution.  Is there a correct way to accomplish this?

Thanks!

-Eugene
