Setting about this rather depends on whether acceptable and unacceptable 
posters are going to be members or non-members of the list.

I would think that a judicious regex in one of the 
hold/discard/reject_these_nonmembers field on the web
Privacy Options->[Sender filters] page could partially solve the problem:

For instance, I think this regex will only match, and hence cause to 
discard, mail from non-members whose addresses in domains other than 
'your.domain.com':

     ^.*?@(?!your\.domain\.com$)'

But this would still allow posting by members of the list who are from 
outside 'your.domain.com', which might also want to achieve.

Setting moderation for those not-in-your-domain-but-members-of-the-list to 
On and setting member_moderation_action to hold/discard/reject should allow 
a list which can have a mixed population but can only be posted to by 
people in your domain, whether they are members or not.
