All you have to do is select: "Send mail to poster when their posting is held for approval? NO" So, any post by a non-member will have to be authorised, the the authorisation will be quiet. In this way, you can filter out all SPAM manually, so that it does not get posted to the list. If mail is from the kernel mailing list, accept it, if it is from a non-member, manually reject it, saying only members can submit messages. I think that would be acceptable to everyone. I do this for my mailing lists.
