No, the NonMember option does not apply with Send=Private.  The Help
text in the web administration interface is very useful.

Having the Review attribute applied to all subscribers (and included as
a default option to cover new subscribers) will cause all postings from
subscribers to be moderated regardless of the Send selection (supposing
none have the Editor attribute).

I presented two ways to accomplish what you asked for originally.  1)
Set all subscribers to Review and switch to Send=private; this will
cause non-subscriber messages to be rejected and moderate subscribers.  
2) Change your existing Send= Editor,Hold,Confirm to Send=
Editor,Hold,Confirm,NonMember; this will continue the moderation of
subscribers, and require confirmation by non-subscribers.

Hi Kevin,

I, too, have struggled with the appropriate Send keyword combinations.
It seems
odd to me to use both the Private and NonMember keywords at the same
time.

So, just to clarify, are you saying that the "Default-Options= Review"
and
"Send= Private, NonMember" combination will cause postings from
subscribers to
be moderated and postings from non-subscribers to have to be confirmed
before
being moderated?

Thanks for your help,

Bret

First, update your list header to include

   Default-Options= Review

or add REVIEW to the entry if you already have a Default-Options
keyword
present, so any new subscribers will acquire that attribute
automatically.

Then, send your server this command

   quiet set listname review for *@*

(substituting your listname) and confirm as prompted.  The wildcard
syntax will
apply the attribute to every subscriber at once.

Then update your list header to Send=Private and that should take care
of your
situation.

Alternatively, you can add the NonMember option to your existing Send
keyword
values, so that any messages from non-subscribers won't reach you for
moderation
until after the sender responds to a confirm request (and hardly any
spam ever
does that).

My list is currently configured "Send= editor,  hold,  confirm". Since
I receive
massive spam waiting for moderation recently,  I would like to prevent
non-subscribers to post from now  on.  BUT posts of subscribers should
still be
moderated (so that a simple "Send= Private" is not appropriate). AND I
cannot
afford to  set all approx 1.000 subscribers to REVIEW manually...

What can I do? I appreciate your help. And please forgive me  if this
problem
has been covered already recently.
