It depends on how long you want to review a new subscriber's posts. I set most people to noreview after one post, but sometimes it takes a few posts to be sure of someone. Someone who never posts would always be set to review. You can change the setting for a subscriber by sending a SET YOURLIST-L NOREVIEW for userid@goodplace command to Listserv. Maureen HWY61-L
