Yes, this would be *very* helpful to us. We are actually dividing the messages among several moderators based on the topic. The list server sends messages to a dummy account. A script scans for the topic keywords and sends the messages on each topic to a different moderator for review. The script also send an automatic rejection notice for messages that do not contain a topic keyword in the subject line. With this system, the approval never comes from the address to which the list server sent the message for review. This certainly does not cause any problems for the current method of approval. I naturally assumed that it would still work if we switched to Editor,hold. Of course, the other option would be to have support for moderation by topic built into the list server. ;-) Peace, Dan << Daniel D.
