Hi,
are you sure you are both talking about the same setting?
You wrote initially:
"The list settings have automatically (and appropriately) been set to
hold mails when I go to Settings -> Message Acceptance -> "Default
action to take when a *non-member* posts to the list" -- it says Hold
for moderation"
That's for non-members, not for members. That does not apply to users
which you have mass subscribed. For those there is the "Default action
to take when a member posts to the list". That's the one Mark Sapiro
mentioned.
Regards,
Gerald

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.
I agree. My point was that the list is set as default to hold for moderation. But, a new
user who sends an email to the list, whose Moderation Action is set to "none",
was able to email the list without the email being held for moderation. I would have
expected based on the threads I quoted, that a user who is added to the list via Mass
subscribe, would not be able to send to the list without it being held.
I'm happy to do more testing, provide other information/logs as desired if that
would help?
cheers,
Mark
