I just took a look at the FAQ, and offer an additional suggestion: The 
FAQ suggests adding all authorized people to a list of authorized 
posters, and then creating a scenari as follows:

is_subscriber([listname],[sender])            md5,smime -> listmaster,notify
is_subscriber('foo-authorization',[sender])      md5,smime -> 
listmaster,notify

I think you should also be able to do something like:

is_subscriber([listname],[sender])            md5,smime -> listmaster,notify
is_subscriber('list-1',[sender])      md5,smime -> listmaster,notify
is_subscriber('list-2',[sender])      md5,smime -> listmaster,notify
....
is_subscriber('list-n',[sender])      md5,smime -> listmaster,notify

Where list-1 through list-n are all the lists you're working with.
I.e., if you're on a list you can post to it, if you're on any of the other 
enumerated list, you can post
to the list.
