That would be my worry too. You might also provoke additional messages:
"I mailed to the list, but didn't see my message, so after 24 hours I
sent it again ... and again ... and ..." I see this behaviour regularly
when some user sets up a broken .forward file and then tries to test it
from the same account. The record number of attempts I've seen is 10.
I think you do need some kind of out-of-MTA software to handle this.
