Look at the following config entries:

 # advertise            [regexp_array] (undef) <majordomo>
 # If the requestor email address matches one of these regexps, then
 # the list will be listed in the output of a lists command. Failure
 # to match any regexp excludes the list from the output. The
 # regexps under noadvertise override these regexps.
advertise           <<  END

END

 # noadvertise          [regexp_array] (undef) <majordomo>
 # If the requestor name matches one of these regexps, then the list
 # will not be listed in the output of a lists command. Noadvertise
 # overrides advertise.
noadvertise         <<  END

END

 # which_access         [enum] (open) <majordomo> /open;closed;list/
 # One of three values: open, list, closed. Open allows anyone
 # access to this command and closed completely disables the command
 # for everyone. List allows only list members access, or if
 # restrict_post is defined, only the addresses in those files are
 # allowed access.
which_access        =   closed

 # who_access           [enum] (open) <majordomo> /open;closed;list/
 # One of three values: open, list, closed. Open allows anyone
 # access to this command and closed completely disables the command
 # for everyone. List allows only list members access, or if
 # restrict_post is defined, only the addresses in those files are
 # allowed access.
who_access          =   closed

After changing these commands as you wish them, the administrator can still
use the commands if the correct password is used. The password is
controlled by:

 # admin_passwd         [word] (*********) <majordomo>
 # The password for handling administrative tasks on the list.
admin_passwd        =   *********

To send the password, you would do something like:

 approve <password> <command>

So:

 approve password who <listname>
