Can you not use the mailman features to subscribe people but set them 
not to receive mail? I've got that set so I can have mail sent to one 
address but send from another. The sending account never receives list 
content directly.

This, in co-operation with subscriber only sending, keeps list spam 
down a hell of a lot.

This is also how I use most other Mailman lists.
