If it is someone you more or less "trust" as in you know of them and believe their posts to be worth putting in your site, then make them a "contributor." They should have the ability to write posts and nothing else. Not edit not delete, not even publish.

You can post it on their behalf. I won't accept a guest post from someone I don't "know." This doesn't mean I need to have met them, but rather that they have a site or have commented regularly or other wise have established themselves and didn't just blind submit to me.
