David,

Do you receive a sufficient number of comments that it would be
impractical to have them sent to the list owner or editor, and have that
person forward them to the list?

If so, how about setting up a dummy email address on your local system
which is subscribed to the mailing list with the NOMAIL option (so it
doesn't end up taking lots of disk space by receiving messages from the
list), and also has a .forward file associated with it that forwards all
received mail to the mailing list.  Then have the web form send mail to
that email address.  What do you think?
