Public bug reported:

If posting to a list is secured by requiring an Approved: or X-Approved:
header for a post to be accepted without moderation, the list admin or
moderator password can be compromised by sending it in the headers of an
email message.

There should be a 'poster' password for this purpose only so the
consequences of compromise would be less severe.
