} The new "Non-Member" option allows (under certain circumstances) non-
} members to post messages to the list as long as they Confirm the message.
} At the same time you have subscribers set to Review.
} Yes this (so far) keeps spammers messages from reaching the list and the
} Moderator's mail box. However, I can post to your list right now!
}
} With Send= Editor, all mail addressed to the list goes to the Moderator
} for inspection. To eliminate non-member spam going to the Moderator, set
} this: Send= Private (or Private,Confirm)
}
} Now set all Subscribers to REVIEW (if that's what you want)
} QUIET set listname REVIEW for *@*
}
} Now spam (non-member) posts will be rejected outright and all member posts
} will go to the moderator. If you have complaint members, set them to
} NOREVIEW and allow them to post freely.
The use of REVIEW has 2 sides:
1) All new subscribers are on review. After seeing a post or three,
they are set to NOREVIEW.
2) A misbehaving subscriber will be set to review until they promise to
be good. (Cuts down on the flame wars.)
} Since this is a beta version, you should take threads like this to the
} support list designated by your particular hosting service. I see you
} already have a few confused :-)
Well, Lsoft (Apple) is my hosting service.....
