GNU mailman allows you to subscribe addresses as "post-only"
addresses...  So I'm subscribed twice: once from the address where I
will actually receive the mail--which is marked as private--and a
second "posting-only" address which does not exist.  For
majordomo-style lists, you can simulate this by just subscribing twice
normally, and sending all e-mail from the "invalid" address to
/dev/null.  This largely defeats the main benefit of doing this,
though, which is prevention of mass quantities of spam ever reaching
you in the first place.  If you're paying for bandwidth--and I do--it
is a better option IMO than using spam filtering, though it requires
dilligence, and will likely get you called eccentric, and other worse
things.
