If you "bounce" or "redirect" or "forward" the submission back to the
mailing list (sorry, everyone's mailer uses different terminology),
and your e-mail address is in the accept2 file, SmartList ought to
accept your resubmission.  Your mailer will almost certainly put your
e-mail address somewhere in the forwarded message where SmartList will
look for it (e.g. the envelope address, the "Sender" header, the
"Resent-From" header).

This is actually how we handle moderated lists here.  I was never able
to get "Approved" headers to work with both regular and digest lists
to my satisfaction.
