I haven't, but it would only take you a minute to check.  Does your config
file contain the inline commenting found in standard majordomo config files?

# restrict_post        [restrict_post] (undef) <resend>
# If defined, only addresses listed in these files (colon or space
# separated) can post to the mailing list. By default, these files
# are relative to the lists directory.

If they're relative by default, then it leads me to believe they can be
absolute.  My own RaQs are so heavily modified that I can't create majordomo
lists from the GUI (I have my own separate mj installs) so I can't test
without playing with a live list or creating a new list.  And I just checked
google.com for "restrict_post absolute" and the second page found states
that absolute paths can be used.
