I have lists for each of our four classes of medical students and don't restrict them in any way.
You're welcomed to have open lists if you want; that is NOT what the original poster was interested in, however. I maintain that if security is important enough that you need to restrict posting to a select few, one should as a matter of course lock the list down through moderation instead of relying on the obviously-insecure methodolody of checking a forgable header field. That you aren't interested in even unsetting foreign_submit for your lists, certainly your call as the maintainer, doesn't change that opinion.
