Well how about just blocking addresses like postmaster@foo.bar and the like. 
I can't see how that kind of thing would cause a problem.

Yes, but that's really the case with any mailing list manager.  Setting
the list to only accept posts from subscribed members would've prevented
the messages from going to the list, but it would've wound up being stuck
in the admin request queue for the list, requiring a list admin to approve
or reject the messages.
I'm not sure I'd recommend limitting the list in that way, as having an
open list makes it easy for people who just want to have a question
answered to post the message without having to subscribe.
