Both.

You don't even have to do that, if you don't want to get into access_rules
stuff (which is seriously underdocumented right now).  Mj2 supports
restrict_post just like Mj1 did (if you're familiar with Mj1); you just do:

configset listname restrict_post = listname

Anyway, the access_rules stanza looks like:

post
deny
!@MAIN

That's reasonable.  I'll add it to the TODO list.
