Try:

*  Send= Editor,Hold
*  Editor= [log in to unmask],(YOURLIST-L)

Putting the name of your list in parentheses makes all
subscribers to your list "editors". When a subscriber posts,
his posts won't come to you for moderation.

Posts of non-subscribers will come to you for review.

It's a good idea to have a default-options setting of:

*  Default-Options= Review

This lets you check out a new subscriber for the first couple
of posts or so. Helps to curb the spam and all.
