I do the same thing, and it works extremely well for me also.

FWIW, my bulk_mailer code has a fuzzy address matching algorithm that
is designed to recognize when the sender of a message is using a
similar-but-somewhat-different address (via subaddresses or slightly
different domains) than the one to which he/she is subscribed.
Authors of other list software are welcome to crib from it.
