I guess I didn't make the point clearly.  Default-Options= Review works
by making the subscriptions of new subscribers have option REVIEW set.
I wanted REVIEW to apply to non-subscribers that attempt to post. *Not*
a LISTSERV bug, I suspect.  The command issued and error message are:
 
   tell listserv set hockey-l review for [log in to unmask]
   * There is no subscription for [log in to unmask] in the HOCKEY-L list
 
(Eric has since cleared this point up.  Tnanks!)

I see.  It appears I should use Send= Editor,Hold and make subscribers
editors.  The choices seem to be to use Editor= (listname) or to use
Default-Options=Editor.  The latter seems to allow more flexibility in
that I can change a subscription to NOEDITOR to moderate a subscriber.
 
Or is it possible to set an individual subscriber to NOEDITOR and have
that take preference over Editor=(listname)?
 
On the other hand, would "SET listname REVIEW FOR someone" cause
moderation of postings for a Send=Editor/Editor=(listname) list?

When List-ID is used, it more-or-less takes over for the short list name
(LISTSERV uses it in preference to the short name).  Is this adjustable?
Perhaps using mailer forwarding would serve the purpose.
 
Thanks for the help and a great product,
