'from inside'...

IF the mailing list 'server' is NOT 'inside' and cannot APPEAR to be
'inside' (by logging in to the company server as your good self), which
it may not be if said mailing list and server are NOT 'blessed' by the
company...

....then simply do NOT use what the company sees as an 'inside'
address from whence to originate.

Why would you do so?

Use an address@<domain>.<tld> that you, not the company, control.

It isn't JUST about what the company server accepts.

It is ALSO about whether the company is comfortable with you appearing
to originate traffic from a company *address* (implying server, implying
official business/company approval) .... when you do NOT.

Your employment can be terminated on that score alone in many of the
world's jurisdictions.

DON'T use a 'company' address (or any other resource) for personal or
unapproved use!

Render unto Ceaser. Separate Chruch and State. Whatever.
