Why not simply use aliases in .mailrc? You can protect your aliases file,
so nobody but the owner may use it. If you want to allow certain outside
people to use your mailing list, create an alias "private_mailing_list" for
your user name, and handle forwarding to your private mailing list with a
filter program in your .forward or directly in the aliases file.

Another question: why do you need a private mailing list?
