Jeff, I assume this is because people are generally more concerned about false positives in spam-checking than they are with having to glance at a few admin requests. I suppose most people would probably be content with rejecting or even discarding the messages, so long as a copy is forwarded to the moderator to make sure it wasn't a valid post, but I know that for most of my lists, I would prefer generic_nonmember_action to by Hold. I assume that administrators of sites that have much higher volumes of spam and whatnot would prefer your suggestion, but I think that administrators of small sites don't have to deal with spam as much. At any rate, I don't know if the default is great or not, but I support it. I think I might be awfully annoyed if I had just set up Mailman, set up my first list, and my first attempt to send a message to it was automatically rejected, because I'd sent the message from a different e-mail account than I signed up to the list, and because I hadn't read through the many many pages of options for the list. ::shrug:: Just thought I'd toss out my two cents.
