I can't think of a simple way for this, but here are two options: Use a separate program to gate the news into the mailing list, and have the program use a specific user as the sender (or actually the forwarder of the message). This is they way I currently do it at one of the sites I admin.
Modify the Source Code so that the News-to-Mail gateway adds a special header to signify approval - then modify the approval module to look for that special header (then strip it out) and auto-approve the message. Sounds hard, but in reality we're talking about 4 lines of inserted code here.
