Cameron,
.. all of which also raises the question:
How, and to what address(es) do 'posts' TO the list arrive?
They probably need a bit of recognition and handling logic as well, lest they be
refused by the settings so far suggested.
JFWIW - life is considerably simpler (especially when 'bounces' are returned) if
the MTA/MLM can be given a valid <domain>.<tld> of its own, and outbound headers
set to what makes sense w/r distinguishing 'From:, 'Reply To:', posts,
moderation, subscribe/unsubscribe, and the return path needed by the inevitable
bounces a list will encounter as members change addresses, overfill quotas, or
go on vacation.
All old stuff, and probably better covered in your Mailing List Manager software
docs and their support/user list archives than here.
