You can use the options under the 'General posting filters' heading on the 
Privacy Options page of the web admin GUI for a list control who posts to 
the list. You'll then get to moderate all postings through the admin web GUI.

There appears to be something else wrong with your list server or MTA setup 
if subscription responses are being distributed to the list membership.

How are people subscribing? Thru the web interface or via the 
<listname>-request mail alias?

In either case, if you are using confirmation for subscriptions, the 
Reply-To header of the response requesting confirmation should again be 
<listname>-request.

What do the headers on these subscription related emails that are being 
posted to the list look like?
