From the Site Managers Manual


Starting with LISTSERV 1.8d, all default options are applied to
non-subscribers, so it is possible to force even non-subscribers to post
through a moderator by simply setting "Default-Options= REVIEW", or lock them
out altogether by setting "Default-Options= NOPOST". This works even if your
list is set "Send= Public", in which case there is a side benefit: the setting
will stop people whom you have set to REVIEW or NOPOST from signing off the
list and being able to post.


So if you are running 1.8d or higher, my statement applies.  If it doesn't
work, you have a bug.
