Review is on of those things which can be confusing as it has different meanings according to the context (like "confirm"). In this context it serves as a sort of "filter" for those lists which aren't fully moderated. If a subscriber is set to REVIEW his postings are sent to someone for approval before they go on to the list. If they aren't approved they never get to the list. The "someone" can be the first address in the Editor= listing, the first Owner= listing or (I think, don't hold me to this) you can put in a special address for REVIEW items using the Review= keyword. REVIEW items are approved via the "ok" technique (like you use to "confirm" a new subscription to a list). If you don't approve within the allowed time the item is dumped. To set a particular subscriber to REVIEW you send to the listserv running your list: QUIET SET listname REVIEW for userid@node To have it as the default, so that all new subscribers are automatically set REVIEW (on probation as it were), you put it in your Default-Options. When you do this I believe everyone already subscribed will be "quietly" set to REVIEW so you may want to do a quiet set noreview *@* for your reliable subscribers. Then you can just keep an eye on the new subs and when they prove themselves set them to NOREVIEW. Douglas Douglas Winship Hays County, Texas [log in to unmask] Secondary AUTOCAT Listowner MEDLAB-L
