You could have a seperate mailing list of "allowed" users and then set

        Notebook= Yes,[...],ALLOWEDUSERS

where ALLOWEDUSERS is the name of the mailing list with the allowed
users on it.

It wouldn't be necessary to tell anyone about the existance of the
ALLOWEDUSERS mailing list; I'd probably set it up with:

        Confidential= Yes
        Send= Owners,Confirm
        Subscription= Closed
        Validate= All,Confirm
