Nope.

What was happening was they were replying and it went straight to the
list. The filters now forward the message to me instead to verify if
it's a legit message or not.

The software has always done this for such things as subscribing and
unsubscribing when sending to the list address instead of the majordomo
address. It asks the list admin for approval. I'm just extending the
list of "approval" required checks.

Regarding sending mail to the SPAMmer, it typically just adds your email
address to their big list of "valid" email addresses. I wouldn't do it.
(Yes, there are "respectable" SPAMmers, but they are outnumbered by the
bad ones.)
