The last go around I really looked at this, you were supposed to have an Editor= line, though by default that is equal to the first Owner= line. The Editor does not get posts for approval if you have a Moderator= line and are not defined in it. (98% sure, been a while since I rechecked) I run what I would consider a semi-moderated list that allows for posts by non-subscribers. * Send= Editor, Hold * Editor= [log in to unmask], (<listname>) * Moderator= All, [log in to unmask], backup@ispaddress, helper@ispaddress * Default-Options= Repro,SUBJecthdr,NOMIME,Review If you don't wish to allow postings from people not subscribed to the list, remove the listname in parens on the Editor= line. Additional considerations: Every member on review will get a notice their email has been sent to a moderator for review. I've removed that and instead broadened out the list policy to explain the aspects for moderation for the list. Some people advocate heavily against this, but my main point is should you do that, be sure you have it in your list policy that goes to all subscribers just so you can point to it when needed later.
