On the admin General Options page set reply_goes_to_list to Explicit
address and reply_to_address to listname-owner at domain. You may or may
not want to also set first_strip_reply_to to Yes to avoid replying to
the original poster's address.

I may not understand your desire. The above will cause 'reply' to any
post to go to listname-owner at domain. If you only want replies to this
specific script-generated post to go to listname-owner at domain, you have
other choices.

No, there is no problem and you don't have to set it to nomail unless
you don't want it to receive list posts. In other words, it won't cause
any issue other than receiving possibly unwanted list posts if it is not
set to nomail.

Yes. Add the address to Privacy options ... -> Sender filters ->
accept_these_nonmembers.
