That's not a hard problem to overcome. For the person who is sending to the mailing list, give them Write (preferably Write+Authenticate) access, and restrict all the other users to simply read only access. The person sending the message will send a single mail using outlook express to the email address of the mailing list. All users will receive it, but will not be able to reply back causing a horrid mess.
