Lists can be set for 'self-moderation'.

* Send= Editor                         (or  = Editor,Hold)
* Editor= person@address, (listname)

In this case, the first named editor must be a real persons address, but
the (listname) makes all subscribers as editors as well, so they may post.
This setup is used with lists also gatewayed to newsgroups (whose readers/
posters are not all subscribers).  This allows all subscribers to post
freely, but forces all non-subscriber mail to be reviewed and approved by
someone (the named editor) before posting is allowed.

However, you cannot set  * Moderator= xxxx, (listname) as the (listname)
shortcut (referring to all subscribers) is not accepted for Moderator= .
