My default answer to this has always been, if you can do this with a
sendmail alias, you might be able to do this with a majordomo list of
recipients. Majordomo just sets the To: field to the list alias, and
passes the message to sendmail for delivery. On a medium to large
list, you could slow down your server and delivery immensely by trying
to translate one message with one envelope into the number of messages
equal to the number of subscribers you have. I am not sure sendmail
could convert one message into many, and majordomo would require some
serious hacking (and performance degradation) to accomplish this.
As for restricting users from posting, no problem. Enable "moderate"
and "restrict_post" features for your list.
