>From my test.config file

        # restrict_post        [restrict_post] (test) <resend>
        # If defined, only addresses listed in these files (colon or space
        # separated) can post to the mailing list. By default, these files
        # are relative to the lists directory. These files are also checked
        # when get_access, index_access, info_access, intro_access,
        # which_access, or who_access is set to 'list'. This is less useful
        # than it seems it should be since there is no way to create these
        # files if you do not have access to the machine running resend.
        # This mechanism will be replaced in a future version of
        # majordomo/resend.
restrict_post       =   test

What this does is use the FILE "test" in the "lists" directory which contains 
the email addresses of the list members, one per line, to allow only subscribers
of the "test" mailing list to post to the list.  What might be nice, is if this
setting followed the syntax of who, which, get, index, info, and intro where 
you set "post_access = (open|closed|list)" but include current functionality 
of filename:filename on the RHS.  For now, using the actual name of your list
will suit your purposes.
