Don't put too much faith in any scheme that attempts to "hide" the sender.  Some schemes are probably better at hiding than others.  Also, make sure that the sender can not be easily spoofed.  Perhaps the authorized sender "role" account should NOT be the explicit owner since owners are not able to be moderated.

An practical method might be to have a role subscriber (in REVIEW mode) mailbox and use the web interface to post?
