Basic options for Subscription= are Subscription=open Subscription=open,confirm Subscription=by_owner Subscription=closed (There are a few more as well but seldom used.) >Send= Editor,Confirm This is a possible problem. With this setting, LISTSERV sends the original message to the Moderator(s) for approval. The Moderator typically needs a special kind of email client to edit the message and remove the "editor's header" from the message before forwarding this back to LISTSERV. If instead you used the setting Send= Editor,hold,Confirm then LISTSERV would hold the original message and send a request-for-approval (with a copy of the message) to the moderator(s), which allows the Moderator to simply tell LISTSERV it's OK to send the message. No specail mail client or message editing is needed. The above applies UNLESS the message comes from a person listed as Editor=. Then the confirmation goes back only to that 1 person, even if you have several editors/moderators. >List-Address= agric.nsw.gov.au This setting is discouraged for non-VM servers. It probably should be removed, although it has nothing to do with your approval question. >Notebook= Yes,/home/listserv/lists/TussockNews,yearly,private Monthly might be a better default value for the message archives. It keeps the files smaller and easier to handle if this list has any volume of postings. Hmmm, your License is valid for the most recent version 14.4 but the build date of LISTSERV that you are running is very, very old, close to the first release of 1.8e (I think your version even predates what is now called 14.0). An upgrade to the more recent version would be suggested. >Version: 14.4 ... >Build date: 27 May 2002
