Removing 'accept all' for non-subscribed user in mailman?

I think you will find thir email address under
Privacy Options -> Sender filters -> List of non-member addresses whose 
postings should be automatically accepted.

If I may make an suggestion, you should put the email address of your 
alias in Privacy options -> Recipient filters -> Alias names (regexps) 
which qualify as explicit to or cc destination names for this list.

By doing that you can just treat everything like a normal list and not 
have to worry about setting the accept all setting for each user, so the 
moderation settings work correctly.
