Only if the moderator is also a list member and then by setting the
modreator as 'unmoderated' and everyone else as moderated, but that is
what I thought you were trying to avoid in order to prevent posting by
spoofing the moderators address.

That is what the Approved: header is for.

If by "distinguish between the list moderator and everyone else" you
mean that the list moderator knows the moderator password and is able
to pre-approve her posts via the Approved: header, then yes, that's
how you do it.
