Yes.

Yes, but with limitations.

This sounds like it would work, but I think there would be a problem
because the address that people post to would be didderent from what
they see when the mail arrives.  You would get people attempting to
post to the list the mail comes from.
 
Another way to do it is to have a separate list for moderators, say
MODLIST.  Then you set up the main list like this:
 
   Send=Editor
   Editor=address of 1st moderator
   ...
   Editor=address of Nth moderator
   Moderator=MODLIST@listhost
 
The only problem with this is that you can't use the Hold option
for approving posts as the OK command must come from the address
the message was sent to.  But you can use the other methods for
approving posts.

You aren't the only one who wants that.
 
It would be very nice if the Hold option could be used with the
structure above, as it would insure that the same message would
not be posted multiple times by different moderators.
