The way is to edit the scenario for the list potentially globally. Assuming 
you have a discussion list your scenario will look like:

title.gettext Private, confirmation for non subscribers, no bcc

equal([is_bcc],1)                  smtp,md5      -> reject
true()                             md5,smime     -> do_it
is_subscriber([listname],[sender]) smtp          -> do_it
true()                             smtp          -> request_auth

(Admin -> Edit List Config ->  Sending/Reception - top option -> scenario 
source button on the top right)

add extra lines like:
is_subscriber(funkylist1,[sender]) smtp          -> do_it
is_subscriber(funkylist2,[sender]) smtp          -> do_it
is_subscriber(specialtopiclist,[sender]) smtp          -> do_it

This assumes all the lists have the same reception mode. If not look at 
Scenario inclusion on http://www.sympa.org/manual/authorization-scenarios
