Assuming 'admin_password' above is the actual list admin or moderator
password and not the user password of the admin, then no, it is not
the expected behavior. If it is the user password of the admin, then
it is the expected behavior.

The password needs to be the list's admin or moderator password. The
address you send the 'who' from and to which the results will be
returned can be any address.
