Adam,
  use the restrict_post  = list_name : list_auth : any_other_file_you_want

the files are located relative to the lists directory of majordomo
you can actually make a list subscribable without making it available to
your e-mail client.  If you add the alternate addresses to the list_auth file
then they will be accepted.
