IIRC, the reason some people think this is pointless is that it is
relatively easy to spoof and thus get around the restriction.  If you
are willing to accept that it is not 100% foolproof, then I agree with
you... this kind of setup has some utility.

Off th top of my head, I think you could put the following into the
DIR/editor file before the ezmlm-gate command:

| /usr/local/bin/ezmlm/ezmlm-issubn <full path to list directory> .
mod allow digest || /var/qmail/bin/bouncesaying "Sorry, you are not
authorized to send mail to this list."

Hope that helps.
