Bon Matin to all, It may be "normal" behavior but the following can get a list owner very nervous ... Here's the scenario (the list under the self-moderation scheme Send=Editor,Hold Editor,me,(LIST)) A non-sub user sends a post to the via the News address (but I strongly believe that the list address will produce the same) I receive an "Approval Request" , it's an old Ler of ours so I forward the canges we made in the last months including sub info (for future post) and I OK this one ... At this point the Approved-by: should be me right ? I see the post on the list, it reads Approved-by:non-sub-user (which is wrong) and the From: address reads From: non-sub-user@host ... Some time later I receive the Sub notification for non-sub-user. And the user reposted the message I OKed before. That copy also appears later with Approved-by:non-sub-user(which is now right) and the From: address reads From: "Sub Name" <non-sub-user@host>. My questions... How com the first post did not keep the Approved-by:me that would distinguish the 2 copies ??? When does LISTSERV puts the Approved-by: in the header ??? It seems to me that if an Editor (or a Moderator) approves a post that audit trail should be left in the message header ... Or is it the coincidence factor of LISTSERV processing my "OK" and the sub in that order and before the mail is "prepared for distribution"? I would understand addding another Approved-by: and leaving the first one alone, I don't understand changing it so it "appears" to be from a sub user when *I* OKed it ... The only thing I could come up for changing the Approved-By is to mask if a user is under REVIEW ... If so, I find that's wrong... Does someone have some explanations for LISTSSERv Approved-by behavior ? -- Eric Paul-Hus, BLUES-L
