Thanks -- I thought of trying something like that, trouble is that requires 
that I would have to manually approve all of those who respond to the 
invitations, and that could potentially be several hundred (kind of a pain).

I would think this is a common enough requirement that there would be. My web 
searches just turned up Mailman-based lists that said they were 
"invitation-only," but I could find nothing about how to set up that 
configuration. 

I disabled the "-join" email alias to prevent random subscriptions through that 
path, but someone could still potentially sign up via the web interface if, 
say, a member showed them the proper URL. (Maybe edit any of the html files 
that offer the signup option?)
