This is, as I understand it, the correct way to set it up minimally, but
it will do nothing to prevent people from spoofing your e-mail address and
sending things to listserv as if it came from you.  Better would be:

* Send= editor, hold, confirm
* Editor= [log in to unmask] (Your Name)

This way, you must approve even your own posts to prevent such occurrences
from ever occuring.  You may also need a LISTSERV password as well, but
I'm not sure about this.
