The only way I've found to use restrict_post absent direct access to the 
server files is to set it to be the same as the list itself; that is, to 
restrict post to the one file that CAN be administered using majordomo's 
email interface. As Bigby points out, that is a "limited use" which only 
servers to restrict posts to the list members, but I've found it to be 
better than no restrictions at all.
