That only set your own subscription to review unless you added the userID
portion  SET listname REVIEW FOR *@*

You really need only set the (few?) offending students to REVIEW, not
everyone.

>I would like to undo this

SET listname NOREVIEW FOR *@*

in the List Header:

* Send= Editor,Hold
* Editor= yourID@your_address


You will receive all list posting msgs for approval by the OK mechanism
(i.e. you may approve or disapprove, but you may not edit the msgs)

Read the manual:  http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/index.html
and ask more questions here.

>In addition, do I have to subscribe to

Yes you do.

>or as the owner, does that happen automatically?

No.  Your email pgm may keep a local copy of any msgs you send, but that is
not a LISTSERV function.
