I have a similar problem. We want all of our new subscribers being moderated initially until we see that they did not simply join the list to spam. We de-linked the accept list. As I understand, this will send all posts from persons NOT in the accept list to the maintainer. Our maintainer will then read and forward the message(s), eventually manually adding the email address to the accept file OR she will delete the msg and add the email addy to the reject file. This seems to be working? Would be a pain for you though, because you would have to manually add all your subs as they come in into the accept file. I might suggest adding a nonaccept file as a feature...not the same as reject (doesn't reject just trash the message? We want it to go to the maintainer) Jo
