We are in the process of doing this for some of the KIDLINK
lists--it really does have a lot of advantages.

My solution to this was to write an "OK resender" script.  The
LISTSERVer thinks the moderator is an account named
[log in to unmask]  This account actually forwards the message to
the real moderators.  When they want to approve a message, they
send it back to the LISTMOD account.  A script takes off the
subject line (with the magic cookie) and sends an OK message back
to the LISTSERVer.
 
I'm on a Vax VMS system with PMDF mail, so my specific scripts
probably would not be of use to you.

A suggestion I got when I was planning this was to have the
moderators forge the LISTMOD return address when they send the
magic cookie to the LISTSERVer.  Eudora does allow you to set the
return address to be anything you want it to be.  I'm uneasy with
this for two reasons.  First, I don't like to encourage forging
of email for any reason.  Second, I'm not sure it will work.
Eudora does allow you to put whatever you want in the From: line,
but the LISTSERVer may check the envelope from line as well.
 
Good luck!
