No,  it doesn't serve that purpose -- and that's why I've removed all
references to alternate email addresses from our Web templates, because
everybody (ie. all the users) assume that and it just causes confusion.
Its only purpose is apparently to let you see via the Web the lists that
you're subscribed to with another address, which is not very useful.
Posting from alternate addresses is on the Sympa team's list of
requested features, has been for a while, and I'm sure they'll add it at
some point.

As for retaining the information after logout, I believe it should have
retained it, but I'm not sure.  Never used the feature after testing it
a couple years ago.
