If on Privacy options... -> sender filters

default_member_moderation is Yes
member_moderation_action is Hold
accept_these_nonmembers is empty and
generic_nonmember_action is Hold,

and all current members are set moderated, e.g. by having set them
under "Additional Member Tasks" on the Membership
Management...->Membership List page, then the only way a post can get
to the list without being held and approved by a moderator is if it is
pre-approved with an Approved: password header or initial plain text
body line.

Note that if bob at example.com is a member, bob+ at example.com will still
be treated as a non-member (unless that address is explicitly a member
too), so I would ask if accept_these_nonmembers contains a regexp that
matches '+'.
