No, what you want to do is different.  You want to uncomment the
line in the rc.custom file that says:

##foreign_submit

note: NOT the line above it that says:

#foreign_submit =	yes

Then you want to rm the symlink named accept which links to the
dist file and instead creat an accept file which contains the email
addresses of all the people who should be able to submit to the
list.
