We are unlikely to provide this feature, but if you want to request it you can create an issue at https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman, and perhaps a contributor will pick it up. The closest you can come with current Mailman is 1. Use the script Mark mentions to set AcknowledgePosts to True for all users. Note that they can still turn it off. <https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/message/ENVDM6YO44AYFKHZ6RESXBHAE6IDIPJZ/> 2. Tell your moderators that they should use "reject" rather than "discard" when refusing a post. 3. If you have public archives of the list, tell non-subscribers they can check if their message was received in the archive. Here's why we probably will not work on such a feature. We would prefer not to send any such messages at all, including the "your post has been held for moderation" message. They are too easy to abuse (the poster spoofs a random person's email address, so that person gets multiple messages about something they didn't even post from a list they never heard of), and most Internet users don't like them -- that's why these messages default to off, and we provide a user option to turn acknowledgments off if the list decides to use them. The potential for abuse would be especially bad for automatic rejection messages to users who are not subscribers, because they have no way to turn it off. We do provide the "held for moderation" message because without it some posters will re-post several times, which is bad for the list for several reasons. We provide the "acknowledge post" message for the convenience of users of email providers like Gmail that do not pass the list's instance of the message to the user. If a held message is not posted, there are two options for the moderator: "reject" and "discard". The difference is that if a message is rejected, a short acknowledgment and explanation are sent to the poster. A discarded message is simply thrown away. If the message is posted, an acknowledgment will be sent to a subscriber if both the list and the subscriber enable it. > I hope I am explaining myself well, I am from Spain and my English > is not very good Sorry Your English is fine, don't worry about it. We appreciate your concern and your effort to explain, but no apology needed.
