Newbie question:
Can I ensure that my list:
- can only receive posts from the

- will not pass unauthorised posts for moderation,

I wouldn't think you'd want to do it, either... half the time people
are posting to moderated lists, they are actually trying to email the
list administrator, who *should* see their messages.
You could always add a header to the bounce message explaining where
