Usual caveats... I have never needed the auto-discard/auto-reject part of this myself, set up a test list first, etc. :) I do run a number of lists with default_member_moderation turned on (which we use to prevent spammers from just subscribing first) and it works exactly like you'd expect with the default member_moderation_action. It even comes with a handy "turn off this member's moderation flag" checkbox in the moderator UI, which we use to turn off their mod bit when their first post is legit content. Although you wouldn't get that with discard/reject behaviour. So I guess you'd have to come up with an off-list process for identifying subscribers who should have their moderation flag un-set after subscribing. Though possibly you're automating all of this anyway... ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list -- mailman-users@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/ Member address: arch...@jab.org
