On AUTOCAT we use REVIEW as a default option.  When a subscriber posts
one valid message to the list he or she is then changed to NOREVIEW.
That way we can catch messages from newbies that should be sent to
LISTSERV or that are way out of scope, blatant advertising, and other
things inappropriate for our list.   Some people never post and may
therefore remain set to REVIEW for years.
