However if I had signed up to the forum (and not the mailing list) my From would have to be subscribed for the mailing list to accept it like:

OK, so after a brief background I'd like to organise a solution. Without any other feasible option would this generic address system be allowed?
I wouldn't be happy with that as it prevents private replies to the
author and would make it easy to send what was intended as a private
reply to the public forums by mistake.
Isn't that a secondary use case, though? It would be easy to solve this
by providing a URL to the post in the forum that you can click; assuming
the forum interface gives you the option to reply privately.
That would pretty much make it impossible to use offline.
That would be annoying, but I guess survivable. But how would that
work for a user that hasn't signed up for the forum? How does it
verify the sender?
