You configure it as a moderated list and only allow the pre-approved moderators to send to the list, and you configure the list so replies go back to a predetermined address (often I create an alias that forwards to a few people). Once you've initially set it up, all list management is done with a web interface. Mailman handles double-opt-in subscriptions so users can add and remove themselves from the list... Tweak the listinfo and footer text to suit the use, and you're off and running.
