This would be unpredictable. You are telling LISTSERV, in the
subscription info for the list being posted to, that this particular
subscriber is to go through the editor for approval. Then at the same
time you are indirectly saying, through an auxiliary list, that this
person is an editor and may always post directly. In other words, you're
telling LISTSERV to do something and its contrary at the same time. One
of the tests is made before the other and will determine the actual
result, but this may change as the code is modified. You should use
another method. If the user is already on the list there is no harm in
doing a new ADD command, it will have no effect.
