FWIW, I think Andre Majorel's solution would be an elegant solution (adding "X-Non-Subscriber" header). It can be automated, requires no moderator at all, allows non-subscribers to post, and allows those with a lower threshold for junk to choose to ditch some of the posts to the list based on the existence of this header. (Ok, I couldn't ditch, because my client doesn't support filtering on arbitrary headers...but that's MY problem.)
