Probably the easiest way would be to change your default options to:
* Default-Options= Review, Nopost
This prevents all subscribers from posting to the list. You may also try
setting Send= to contain a literal email address:
*Send= [log in to unmask], Hold, Confirm
and also adding that email address to an Editor= keyword to trap any wayward
mail that manages to get in. I'm not 100% sure but you might also be able
to put Send= Private to ensure no outside posters can get mail onto the
list. I haven't tried that in combination with the other settings.
Finally, if you plan to implement something like this, make sure you hide
*any* keyword that contains an email address within a .HH ON and .HH OFF
block to prevent anyone from viewing it and attempting to spoof an email
from that address.
Example:
* XXX Distribution List
* Errors-To= Owner
* Subscription= Open
* Review= Owner
* Default-Options= Review, Nopost
* Ack= No
* Validate= No
* Auto-Delete= Yes,Full-Auto,Delay(5),Probe(30)
HH ON
* Owner= [log in to unmask]
* Editor= [log in to unmask]
* Send= [log in to unmask],Hold,Confirm

Chazzozz!!
