Set everyones 'moderated' flag on except those you want to be able to
post. It may be easiest to set everyone moderated using the Membership
management->Additional Member Tasks->Set everyone's moderation bit,
including those members not currently visible feature and then unset
those who can post.  You may also want to set Privacy
options...->Sender filters->default_member_moderation to Yes. Also set
Privacy options...->Sender filters->member_moderation_action as
desired and if set to Reject, set member_moderation_notice as
appropriate.
