The relevant section in the manual is 3f. It makes no mention of passwords... http://www.hartzler.net/smartlist/Manual.html#3f I would suggest capitalizing "Approved: " if you haven't tried that... Note that the 'Approved: ...' line is part of the email header, not body. As you're using Outlook, you may need to look into setting up the list to allow the top line(s) of the message body to be treated by SmartList as headers for purposes of commands... http://www.hartzler.net/smartlist/SmartList-FAQ.html#Section_3.2 The FAQ also has a link to another moderation system, which might require different steps: http://www.hartzler.net/smartlist/SmartList-FAQ.html#Section_8.1 You may also be able to rummage in your old sent-mail folders for earlier successful approval messages you might have sent...

I've had a moderated list running for some time, although I was not the moderator. It seem that I have forgotten how to approve the messages and the past moderator is gone. I can't seem to find the text in the manual.

I believe the text for approval, with a password is as follows:

approved: moderatorsEmail@service.net_password

I have been trying to approve messages with the above text as well as several permutations, from an Email address which is included in the moderators file, but can't seem to get them out to the list. I've confirmed the password with what is in the rc.custom file. Might someone be able to let me know what I am doing wrong?

Thank you and best regards,

Jack
