Consider using plus addressing to form your piclist-only address. It was made for this purpose and is built into most modern mail systems: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/mail/addressing/ I believe the senders' email addresses are an important part of the piclist, as they allow replying directly to individual members of the list.
