I run a large community based mailing list using mailman (version 2.1.9, I know a bit old, but that is what the hosting service provides) and I have a couple of users that while normally ok, at times get into arguments with each other on the list. A thought came up, would it be possible to configure the list so that if one of these persons replies to a message from another, the message gets held for review. The people are a bit lazy, so when they do the reply all (list is setup so reply goes to sender, reply all goes to list and send) the other persons email shows up a To: or Cc:

Mark's solution is, of course, more technically elegant than what I'm abut to suggest but I wonder if, trying to think sideways a little, you could catch the majority of the messages you wish to moderate by one or both of:
 - set 'max_num_recipients' to 2 so anything with a Cc is caught
- set a spam trap for anything that already has [subject-prefix] in the subject line.

= Malcolm.

That would catch EVERYONES replies to posts, which I don't want. There are a couple of small groups that just don't see eye to eye on some issues, and sometimes go after each other. Since the list gets about 100 messages a day, I don't want to do anything that causes a large number of messages to end up in the moderation queue.
