Well, what we do on several other mailing lists I deal with is to moderate
non-subscribers only -- their emails are redirected to the moderator(s)
and are sent to the list when the approval message is sent back to the
server.

The web based idea could work, and it would be simple to give the user a
url in the notice email explaining the moderated status for
non-subscribers. The problem I see is that some spammers that get the
moderated notice will then send a message to the list via the web based
access.
