On [EMAIL PROTECTED] all new members are set to moderated until their first message is approved. This is a massive pain in the backside and no-one ever clears the list quickly enough for the aggrieved new subscribers. I advise against it on nuisance grounds unless and until problematic posters (spammers and trolls - it was address-changing trolls we had to do it to fight) make it the only feasible option. - d. _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
