I believe in the concept of running an open list. But I had to resort to adding in some protection to protect the list from spammers and malicious posters. So I've modded the header to allow for posts from outside the subscribership, but they have to come to me for approval first. You can accomplish this changing the Send line to Send= Editor, Hold Add an Editor= <[log in to unmask]>, (your_listname) The (your_listname) in parenthesis allows for non-subscriber posts to be accepted to the list, but you have to approve them for distribution first.
