One solution I've used is to use Yahoo Groups email manager rather than majordomo or similar. There is a web interface for approving or rejecting messages from non-members. You can have as many moderators as you want (can get) to approve or reject messages to the list.
Majordomo has both those features, and a lot more besides.
When I used majordomo, it didn't deal with bounced messages very well.
I understand the desire to use open source projects, but Yahoo Groups is free, and it is very effective in helping to bring this sort of thing under control. I used majordomo myself for about 4 years, and was very reluctant to switch to Yahoo Groups, but I've never looked back.
I'd say that using Yahoo Groups is a cultural impossibility for us, whatever the merits might or might not be.
It's sad IF it actually is better. Mental illness can be defined as not being able to change one's opinion even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. I would hate to think that "open source" pride is a mental illness ... :-)
