Hi,

You can put up a text file inside the directory /majordomo/Lists.
Example, call the new text file:
ok-to.post
Note, I put a period into the name of the text file. Otherwise you might 
be making a new list (but that is OK too, see below).

Put into that text file all the other email addresses you allow to post. 
Then set your list's restrict_post = ok-to.post:listname

What this says is that anyone with an emal address in the main list (all 
the subscribers) and the file, ok-to.post can post to the list.

Or, you can even make a moderated list so no outgoing posts can hit, and 
have the new moderatored list be the one that can keep these addresses. 
I'd make that new list no-advertise.
