On one of my lists,

DEFAULT-OPTIONS= NOPOST

then

SET listname POST for valid_poster_address

What I like about this is that it does NOT require add'l list-header

the RFC822 SENDER isn't spoofable -- it's the listname's TITLE

The actual person sending to the list can spoof their address depending
upon client software.

You might want to add additional controls (3-way handshake) using

SEND= PRIVATE,HOLD,CONFIRM
