Reading the comments in the configuration file should help.

 who_access = list

will take care of that, restricting info access is a bit trickier, and I
will leave that to others to comment on.

BTW, for a list with open subscription, having who_access = list is
considered two lax.  For most lists, 

 who_access = closed

is recommended.
