The preferred procedure in a case like this would be to change your Send= setting temporarily to * Send= Editor,Hold and define an editor, eg, * Editor= [log in to unmask] Then free the list. Everything currently held will come to you for approval. Just OK the messages that should go through and discard the ones from the mail loop. Once you clear the queue you can set your Send= setting back to whatever it was before. You could alternately set the user in question to REVIEW or even NOPOST before freeing the list and only his postings would show up for review or be rejected altogether, while everything else would just be processed normally. This might be simpler, it depends on whether or not you want to make sure you want to check <everything> that is currently enqueued before letting it through. That's sometimes useful in case people have been writing in with "What's going on?" messages--you can just dump them too if you make everything go through the confirmation process with the preferred procedure above.
