Can't they? The archive is subscribed to the list. So the archive would be
able to send messages to the list on behalf of the user, wouldn't it?


I never thought of that. But as a list owner, I'm not sure I'd want people being able to send messages to the list that way. It would defeat the subscription mechanism, and allow anyone (including spammers) to send anonymous messages.
