Yes it works. That is the setup that we have. [log in to unmask] is
subed to LIST. And the bit.listserv.LIST newsgroup is moderated to the
list address.

Then if you set Send=Private, News users most be subed to post.

If you set :
Send=Editor,Hold
Editor=Your_e-mail,(LIST)
Any sub'er message goes in but you have to OK any non-sub address via
the cookie method (just replying with OK, like sub condirmation). If you
don't reply OK within 48 hours the post is flushed by LISTSERV.

What is the Send= keyword in your header ?

I was under the impression that there was no other to gatewat a
Newsgroup then to have it moderated to the list address. Can a LISTSERV
list be gatewayed with a unmoderated Newsgroup ?

Maybe the "requirement" only applies to the bit.listserv hierarchy ?
