Doesn't majordomo let you specify that only certain people (err,
addresses) are allowed to post to a list? Or that list posts must be
approved by a moderator/admin?
If it doesn't, you should probably slap a host-based ACL condition on at
RCPT time. Err, you *are* using Exim 4, aren't you? Anyways, something
like this, assuming your RCPT ACL is called check_recipient:
check_recipient:
deny hosts = !127.0.0.1 # or some other "local" IP
recipients = txcoooking-list-outgoing@???
message = non-local senders not allowed to send to this address
[... rest of ACL to handle relaying ...]
Untested, YMMV of course.
