I have a moderated list that seems to be working just fine. However, I just noticed that some postings that had "approved: <list_pwd>" in the body made it directly to the list, requiring no moderator approval. The strange part is that "approved: <list_pwd>" was the starting line in the very first posting (how that happened, no idea!) but all the subsequent 'replies' simply quoted it and got through. I was looking through the list archives but couldn't find any post talking about this problem. Thanks, Nishi
