Stephan, As far as I can tell, setting sv_search_key is the only reliable way of preventing random people joining your server. Setting the steam group and exclusivity never really did that job for me. I bet if you remove the sv_search_key but keep the group ID in your config your server will fill up pretty quickly.
That may make it more difficult for people to use your server specifically, but if it's full of random people that's likely to be your main concern!
