Your restrict_post setting will allow multiple file names.  Use one of the
file names (listname) as your first allowed list of posters, and your second
file name (listname-post) separated by colon or space from the first filename,
be the list of post-but-dont-receive addresses.

By giving the second list of address the listname-post file name, and putting
that file in your "lists" directory, you have the ability to manipulate the 
members via [un]subscribe commands to majordomo.
