Apparently, the list is configured with 'Send= Editor'. If you change it to
'Send= Editor,Hold', the nature of the message you receive from LISTSERV
will change. You will still receive the entire original message including
headers. If you choose to edit the message and post it to the list with
your return address, you can do so, however, if you simply want the message
to be posted, as-is, with the original sender's return address, you simply
need to approve the message. If your list is hosted on a 1.8d (or earlier)
system, you will need to use the "infamous OK mechanism". If your list
is hosted on a 1.8e system, you may use the "infamous OK mechanism" or
you may simply click the link in the approval request.
