AFAIK, there's no way to do that right now.

See e.g. http://dev.zenoss.org/trac/ticket/2565

Weird, I was just doing the same yesterday and discovered that ZenTrap  
accepts *all* community strings; I got my traps in whether I used  
"public" or "FooBarBaz"...

I'd really like to have a possibility to restrict that to a custom  
community - or better yet, use SNMPv3 for all that.
