How to do unsecure moderator posting?

Porting mailing lists from ezmlm-idx 0.53 to 7.0.2, I am
stuck on this:

Some lists are set up with posting moderation. At the
same time, the moderator (cron bot) needs to post without
having to confirm. How is that done with 7.0.2?

I am aware of the security issues.

With 0.53 it was accomplished by adding a line 2 in editor, after
ezmlm-reject, like this:
|/usr/bin/ezmlm-issubn -n '/var/qmail/alias/lists/LIST/mod' || { /usr/bin/ezmlm-send
'/var/qmail/alias/lists/LIST' ; exit 99 ; } 

The config flags were -ABCDeFGHIJKlmNOpQrSTUVWXYZ

I have not moved to 7.0.2.  I still use 6.0.1 and I do it this way:

|/usr//bin/ezmlm-gate '/var/qmail/alias/lists/LIST'  mod

I have no idea how it is down with 7.0.2, however, you can easily create
a  secret alias  that bypasses  subscriber checking  that your  cron job
sends to  (instead of  the mailing  list address). As  long as  ezmlm is
configured to replace the To header  with the mailing list address, this
should work.
