the syntax is pretty arcane, but 'man procmailex' is really useful.

Something along the lines of:

  :0                                      # new rule
  * ^From:.*authorized-user at example\.com  # match your user's From
  * ^TO_.*fake-list-address at example\.com  # match TO, CC
  !real-list-address                      # forward, possibly local

  :0                                      # new rule (last didn't match)
  * ^TO_.*fake-list-address at example\.com  # to the list (but not authed)
  /dev/null                               # bitbucket (or autoresponder)

(strip out the comments, check the syntax, etc.)
