A technique we have recently implemented is a "poor man's moderation".
It may be suitable for you in this case ...
Using a system-wide filter, freeze all mesages to the list as they arrive.
Postmaster presumably can thaw the message, and if others cannot, you have a
tedious (but usable) mechanism -- Ok for low traffic lists.
