Odd, every one of the PostgreSQL mailing lists are closed lists and are reasonably high traffic ... we even have a bi-directional news<->mail gateway ... We run Majordomo2 over here, which has subscription options, one of which is a -nomail option that allows someone to subscribe from an address, but not receive email from the list to it ... so they can post from news and it will get to the list, or post from a different adddress they receive from ... It does require someone to actually approve messages for those that aren't subscribed, but, again, with Mj2, there is a concept of multiple owners, so you could have two moderators assigned to a list making sure that no spam gets through, if the load warranted it ...
