There's an easy way to do that.

If you run majordomo, the posts aren't trashed -- they are bounced to
the moderator, who can choose to forward them on. On the closed lists
I run, if a non-subscriber post is on topic, I just hit the "z" key in 
my emacs (I have it bound in mh-e to mean "run this message through
"approve") and the message magically goes to the list, pre-approved.
