Without doing the above or modifying code, the closest you can come is
to require approval and let the admin approve or reject the requests.

So you want the authorized posters posts to be held for moderation and
other members posts to be automatically discarded or rejected, correct?

The only way to do this that I can think of is to have the authorized
posters post from an alias which is not a list member and moderate all
the members. Then set member_moderation_action to reject or discard
and set generic_nonmember_action to hold. This may not be a solution
if you don't want to deal with nonmember posts which aren't from
authorized posters.
