Have you looked at the list administrative interface?

Just to name a few --

General Options ...
Send mail to poster when their posting is held for approval?

Privacy options ...
What steps are required for subscription?
Action to take for postings from non-members for which no explicit
action is defined.
Filter rules to match against the headers of a message.
Hold posts with header value matching a specified regexp.

============================================================
It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human
history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts
to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he
sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a
million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a
current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and
injustice.
