Currently for LI I have a seperate DB of the address that are not part of
the list but still have posting privileges.  Addition / deletion from this
DB is manual.  I am looking into listar as a replacement for majordomo. 
listar is extensible via modules.  I think writing a module to let people
submit a list of addresses from which they post should be a decent weekend
programming job.

Considering how listar is extensible I think it should be possible (don't
know with how much effort) to do this.
