Two best ways to skin a cat...

See majordomo manual for hints how to get list config and modify it. For emailing the newconfig back to Majordomo: The best way is to remove the comments altogether. Then it goes through without any complaints. It is good to keep an initial fetched config for a reference, though.

1. in list.config  set the moderated = on
    and reply-to = some_other_address_than_lists
    in the first line of each post: Approved: list_admin_password

2. in list.config  set restrict_post = list.post
which is file that would contain only your email addresses (under the /usr/local/majordomo/www.domain.tld/lists)
    and reply-to = some_other_address_than_lists

(other settings that may be desirable: resend_host = domain.tld which may eliminate most cases of these "@www.domain.tld" thingies.)
