LISTSERV is using the first option it comes to, which in this case is
Private. Hold has no meaning with Private so what you wind up with is:
Send= Private,Confirm
So I assume that is the behavior you desired.
Try this and see what happens:
Send= Editor,Private,Hold,Confirm
This will equate to:
Send= Editor,Hold,Confirm
Which I assume is not desireable.

Again, LISTSERV is using Private so non-subscribers are being rejected.
Since everyone is on Review, their posts go to the moderator. If you read
the documentation on the Send= keyword you will see that Private and
Editor together is not an option as you cannot let all subscribers post
freely and have them all go to the Editor too.
