According to http://comnet.org/lists/ezmanadmin.html#ss2.2 , ezmlm also has the "message moderation" feature. If one of the moderators replies to the message, it will get accepted and sent to the list subscribers. If none of the moderators reply within 5 days, the message will be rejected.(So no need to reject, it's enough to ignore, though it's possible to explicitly reject a message.)

According to http://www.ezmlm.org/faq-0.40/FAQ-8.html#ss8.3 there exists a possibility in ezmlm to restrict posts based on the Subject line. But it is just a script - two pipes and grep commands.(The input seems to be the whole message - including the headers.) So perhaps the script should check the message, whether it contains the string "wget" (case insensitive), but not string "wget@" and if it detects a suspicious message, it should "somehow" pipe it(send the mail) to the "wget-moderators" list. The "wget-moderators" list can of course run any mailing list manager(EZMLM, Mailman, ..), the only allowed poster should be that script, and all approved messages should be forwarded to the wget@sunsite list.
