I have just observed a problem on a list with send = private when the review option is set for a subscriber. The subscriber sends a message to the list and then he leaves the list *before* the editor can approve the message. When the editor approves the message, he gets a message saying "Message successfully approved." But the former subscriber gets a message saying: "You are not authorized to send mail to the...". and the message is *not* being distributed. I think the editor should be informed about this problem by a different message saying something like: "Sorry, message ... could not be approved because the original sender is no longer a member of list ...". Another solution for this problem might be to distribute the message based on the approval of the editor alone and to ignore the fact that the (former) subscriber does no longer have the right to post.
