       The NOPOST option allows you to set some subscribers to a status
where they can read only but not to POST.
       REVIEW is a sort of half-way house to POST.  It is appropriate for
non-moderated lists (as, by definition, all messages sent to a moderated
list, are reviewed before being distributed.)  REVIEW allows a subscriber
to POST but all postings are sent to the listowner (or whomever is
designated as Editor in the header) for approval before being distributed.
Thus you can determine whether or not to allow the distribution of each
message that subscriber attempts to post.   On Autocat we have REVIEW
as the default for all new subscribers.  Once they have posted once and we
see that the message is within scope and generally appropriate we change
that subscribers option to NOREVIEW.   However, we retain the right to set
anyone to REVIEW at any time if they have started to post messages we
consider questionable.
