I believe it is much easier than you are making it.

You simply reply to the mail using your iCloud account. It figures keeps track of your alias addresses and it rewrites the email headers to ensure that the correct alias is used in the "from" header. The web service or person at the other end never gets to see your iCloud email address. They always see the masked alias.
