Recently on a staff list that I own here, I have implemented

Send= Private,Confirm

(which had been Send= Private).

This self-moderation seems to be working OK ;-)


Of course this concept can be extended:

DEFAULT-OPTIONS= NOPOST

SET listname POST for authorized_poster

This would allow only some users to actually process ("OK") their own
postings, and the others to be rejected.
