Unfortunately, that's not the way Mailman works. There is only ONE
place to select wether the list is open OR subscribe-only. AFAIK, there
isn't an option to allow anonymous news gateway posts AND make the
regular email list subscriber only.
I'm sure someone with more programming skill than I could hack it up to
make it perform that way, however I've only a smattering of perl, and
Mailman is coded in Python. Perhaps I'll submit a request to the
developers, asking if this is possible for this and/or future revisions
of Mailman.
