Very easy solution, create a unique email address to subscribe to the
list, then add:

whitelist  envelope-to = unique-email-address
               client-hostname='regex:.*\.centos\.org'
blacklist envelope-to = unique-email-address

Of course you need to be running something on your mailserver to let you
whitelist/blacklist on these different fields and then process whitelist
and blacklist requests in the order specified.

Using this method you get 0.0000 spam messages from being subscribed to
the list.  As you've pointed out though,  other list members can't
easily send you private email.
