My understanding is that ezmlm receives *all* messages and forwards a copy of those from unsubscribed posters (and only
those) to the moderator who then accepts or rejects them.

The mail manager software ezmlm sends to the list (a) all messages from subscribed users plus (b) those that have been accepted by the moderator.

My interpretation is that the addition of headers, trailers or subject prefixes, as described at <http://www.ezmlm.org/manual/Modifying-Messages.html#Modifying-Messages >, happens at the time ezmlm sends messages to the list and would thus affect categories (a) and (b) above. So, to paraphrase, my understanding is that adding "[moderated]" or similar would affect all messages received by the members of the list.

Darn. Well, at least we understand the mechanics better, now.

Too bad ezmin can't process messages that come back from the moderators, after they're accepted, differently before sending them to the list.

Thanks for taking the trouble to run down and read the manual, and then explain.
