A better thing (I think) I was thinking about would be to have it so that only people on the list could post to it, and posts w/ '[lk]' in the subject. Then if someone posts w/o being on the list (Or part of the digest or whatever), and the email doesn't have '[lk]' in the Subject coming in, it gets bounced back w/ instructions to plop '[lk]' in the subject and re-submit, and/or it can be forwarded to some person(s) for manual checking of the message, and they can resubmit it to the list w/ [lk] in the subject if it looks reasonable...
