See the "restrict_post" section of the list.config file.  Say, for
example, the list in question is called "pcusers".  Do this::

restrict_post       =   pcusers

The value used for restrict_post variable can be a single file (as above)
or a space or colon delimited list of files.  The above example is
suitable if you want only members of pc users to be able to post to
pcusers.  If you want a select list of other addresses who are not
subscribers to be able to post to pcusers as well, put those other
addresses in a separate file (let's say "otherpcusers") in your lists
directory, and do this in pcusers.config:

restrict_post       =   pcusers otherpcusers

or...

restrict_post       =   pcusers:otherpcusers
