Obviously, I don't know all the details of how your newsletter is set up, but it sounds to me like something you would want LISTSERV Maestro for, rather than to try to use band-aids and chewing-gum to rig up LISTSERV for what is essentially a social-engineering problem. LISTSERV Maestro's mailing interface is especially designed for newsletter situations where you have several people working on the same mailing. It REQUIRES that every mailing go through a testing process (i.e. a test mailing must be sent out before anyone can approve it). You can set it up so that certain accounts can do everything involved in putting together the mailing, up through testing it (by sending it to a list of test addresses, which in your case would be your moderators), And you can set it up so that another set of accounts (e.g. your moderators) has "approval" permission. But even if your moderators have the right to set up a mailing, they still MUST test it before mailing it out. It sounds to me like that may be exactly what you're looking for.
