Hi Everyone!
in my head:
- the term "moderated" means that someone/a software appliance reads the
mail and change something in it to make message more "soft for human
eyes" (moderate it!) *before* send it to the list; this is a behavior
that *all* posts (sub and unsub) may be subjected (!!!); this happen in
the lists all over the world;
- the term [non subscriber] or [not subscriber] are exactly describing
what actually and now is happening in our lists and so are more suitable;
- if you use to moderate mails/posts in mailing lists only for "non
subscriber" and so there is a one-to-one relation between the first two
things, this is lists choice, but far to be clear in many non owner
people!!! And this take to frequently mail to thread answers that think
"moderated" means like in my first point/element to make them know that
the mean are the second in my list! All, but nice! All, but intuitive!
If you want to eat an apple, you ask for an apple!
If you want to eat a pizza, you go to Naples and ask for a pizza!
If you want to say a mail is from a "non subscriber" person, you tag it
with "non subscriber" string (also if in your system that is for some
ignored cause equivalent to a commonly different meaning term/word!!!).
Isn't it?
If you want be clear, be clear! You'll see less people sending answer
for non subscriber user only to the target list!
If you want to be perfect change flag to:
[non subscriber, please answer both him and the list]

Hi Carlo,
As a moderator on another list, I can say that I have two choices. I
can "Accept" or "Reject" a message. If the message pertains to the
list, I accept by replying to the message it is attached to. If it does
not pertain to the list I just delete the messages. There is no ability
to "soften" the text, to added tags or edit the Subject or text of the
message. This is all due to the way the list software is setup.
There is one item added by the software for moderated message and that
is a header line "Delivered-To: moderator for [email protected]".
That is what I and others use to "tag" the message as from an
unsubscribed poster.
