No amount of security will help you if your Editors go approving
unauthorized messages. LISTSERV isn't psychic (yet; I understand that
feature is coming in 1.8e) -- it can't know what your Editors *really*
meant.

Editor,Hold,Confirm is, IMO, the highest reasonable level of security. If
used correctly, there is no reason an unauthorized post will ever get
through.

What do you mean by "hacked"?
