The syntax Send= Private, Moderated is not recognized by LISTSERV, but is there another way to do this? What I want is: - Postings from non-subscribers receive a rejection message (which hopefully can be edited in the MAILTPL file) - Postings from subscribers are forwarded to Editor for approval. The manual only mentions a "Semi-Moderated" option, but this seems risky to me. Why we need this? We are now using "Send= Editor,Hold". This weekend we had 63 postings requiring approval and only 7 were legitimate postings... And no, we have not turned off the spam filter. -- Ton van den Bogert, co-moderator BIOMCH-L
