Hmmm.... OK. I am trying to do the same thing:
create an announcement list.

The FAQ refers to the following:

   Set the member_moderation_action to Reject and add a nice rejection
   notice text to the following text box.  Say something like "this is
   an announcement list, to reach the band, please email band at dom.ain"

   Set the generic_nonmember_action to Reject or Discard.

Those options do not appear to be available in version 2.0.13 (which is 
the latest downloadable version of Mailman).

I have no problem with the other settings in the configuration, but it 
would be nice to be able to (nicely) auto-reject posts to the list by 
those not specified.

Regards
Rod
