That does not work. You can't send receive without subscription (aka being linked) because this would avoid any security protection. First you both have to establish a normal link. He must be a defined node in the link definition. He have to be linked in the echoarea "subscription", the keyword for the documentation is linkAKA. This would identify him as a legit user and his mails aren't moved to badmail anymore. There should be no way around this.

Your main goal is that he does not receive content from the echoarea and he is send-only to this echoarea. The logic for this linkOption is visible at the -nm switch:

##############################################################################
#  EchoArea syntax
#EchoArea   [-b ] [Options] [linkAKAs] [linkOptions]
#
#####
# LinkOptions:
#
#  -r
#    this link is read only
#
#  -w
#    this link is write only
#
#  -mn
#    this link is mandatory subscribed,
#    you may also set:
#       " -r -mn"
#    or
#       " -w -r"
#    and so on...

 does match the "linkAKA" term. To set the node to write only the end of the echoarea line should be

Y:X/Z -w
