Don't despair! I have a possible solution. My own list works very
much like a self-moderated list, i.e. subscriber posts go to the list
directly, non-subscriber posts are moderated. I also impose a limit
of posts per subscriber per day. Here's how I do it:

Send= Public
Default-Options= REVIEW
Daily-Threshold= 100,6

Default-Options= REVIEW applies to non-subscriber posts as well as
new subscribers, so it's just like Send=Editor
[log in to unmask],(listname) as far as post from non-subscribers go.

The one difference is that I do have to set each new subscriber to
NOREVIEW before they can post freely to the list. However, I prefer
to have the opportunity to moderate each person's first post anyway,
given that some spammers like to subscribe-post-signoff to private
lists. So having to set individuals to NOREVIEW is not a downside to
me. If you see it as a downside, you could always set up a script
that sends a QUIET SET listname NOREVIEW FOR *@* every day from your
email address, so that subscribers are on review for at most one day.
