You can do this using the General posting filters on the Privacy Options 
page of the list admin web GUI for the list concerned.

Set member_posting_only to No and put the e-mail address(es) of whoever is 
to be allowed to post to the list in the posters field. A post from anyone 
else get referred to the admin.
