I have no experience with Chilimail, can't help you there.

In the list.config file (where "list" is the name of the list), set the
line:

restrict_post = list (again where "list" is the name of the list)

I suggest reading through the variables and comments in the list config
file, the Majordomo FAQ and signing up for the majordomo-users mailing list
at www.greatcircle.com if you are going to be doing a fair amount of
majordomo list administration or just need to get up to speed.
