Correct.
I've looked through the archives of this list, and from what I can tell:
According to
https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message/VFUTSZ7CCBBB75M7XUEHPTROFFROWGIH/
None does not mean no moderation. None means use the list default
as opposed to one of the specific actions defined
The thread at
https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/U7RPFQ4QPEHEDKRV5VFNUMKUA2NTSYNP/#FV7AQCA4SX7YRKVHCURFAW7WZBG5TNUH
seems to also repeat the above, that `none` means the configured setting for
the list.
However, I've just done a test of a newly added user (a test email account for
me), seen that the Moderation Action is `None`, but when I posted to the list
from the address, it was not held for moderation, and went through.
Am I missing something with the expected functionality?
A member's moderation action of None means use the `Default action to
take when a member posts to the list`. Is that set to `Hold for moderation`?
Actually, it is good practice to set that to `Hold for moderation` for
all lists or at least all those that don't require moderator approval
for subscription to prevent a spammer from subscribing and spamming the
list. Then, upon approving a member's post you can also set the member's
moderation action to `default processing` and upon discarding a spammers
post, you can also set the spammer's moderation action to `Discard`.
