In Mailman, you can subscribe several addresses and turn off delivery for all 
but one. The only problem is the lack of a tidy subscription interface to let 
you specify a set of sending addresses (and verify all of them), though the 
latest versions have somewhat tidier APIs, so it might not be too tricky to 
implement. 

Any other mailing list software have this functionality?
