This is precisely what we do for several "commits" type lists that I
run for the NTP Public Services Project. Works fine for us.
Ok, but it is not secure.
No, not perfectly secure. Someone could spoof the sending
address and get their post through to the whole list.
But, as I can see, it is the only solution.
Unless you can get the commit notification process to add an
"Approved: password" line to the headers of your message, or the
first line of the message body, I don't see any way that the security
could be further improved, at least as far as Mailman is concerned.
