It is probably easier to define yourself as the editor for the list with the 
nomail option set, so that you do not receive moderation requests. 
Alternatively you can create a custom scenari file that does what you want 
like below, and then select it in the send profile of your configuration.

eg: If you're using send.editorkey currently, the scenari should be something 
like this:

 title.us Moderated
 is_editor([listname],[sender])                 smtp,smime,md5    -> do_it
 is_editor([listname],[header->X-sender])       smtp,smime,md5    -> do_it
 true()                                         smtp,smime,md5    -> editorkey

To allow the owner to post unmoderated as well, copy it to a different name 
(eg: send.editorkey_exowner), and then change the file to look like this:

 title.us Moderated, except owner
 is_editor([listname],[sender])                 smtp,smime,md5    -> do_it
 is_owner([listname],[sender])                  smtp,smime,md5    -> do_it
 is_editor([listname],[header->X-sender])       smtp,smime,md5    -> do_it
 true()                                         smtp,smime,md5    -> editorkey

Notes:
 Make sure your title and filename are different to anything else, or you may 
not be able to select the new scenari in the config section for the list.
 The above is based on scenari taken from Sympa 3.4.4.3 (all I had to hand at 
this time), so the content may not be exactly the same, but the general 
principles should be.
 I deliberately left out the other language titles to save space.
 You should not modify the default scenari files, as an upgrade may wipe all 
your changes. Making a copy, and preferably putting the copy in a different 
directory that sympa does look in is the best solution here. eg: 
That's /etc/sympa/scenari on my system (the above one), check either the 
package docs or the sympa docs for the place your system uses.

Good luck!
