Private can mean three different things:
1) What majordomo refers to as closed (i.e. membership on the list by
invitation only).
2) Only people on the list can post to the list. (I think this is
what you mean in which case resend with the -I option should do the
trick.)
3) The presence of the list shouldn't be advertized in the output
of the lists command. There are patches to hide lists, but the
functionality will not be in a production version until majordomo
2.0.

Are you moderating these lists? If not then the only messages that
should be bounced to the list maintainer (if you are using resend -I)
are messages from people not on the list, or other administriva problems.

I assume you mean the bounce function in resend and not the bounce(1)
command. Resend already does the marking with with the -I option.
The exact line is:
&bounce ("Non-member submission from [$from]");
