+3.7 The Privacy Options Category</A>
+</H2>
+
+<P>
+The Privacy category lets you control how much of the list's
+information is public, as well as who can send messages to your list.
+It also contains some spam detection filters. Note that this section
+is not used to control whether your list's archives are public or
+private; for that, use the <A HREF="#Archiving_options"><tex2html_cross_ref_visible_mark></A> category.
+
+<P>
+There are four sub-categories:
+
+<UL>
+<LI>Subscription rules - i.e. the rules for joining and leaving
+ your mailing list
+
+<P>
+</LI>
+<LI>Sender filters - the rules for who may post messages to your
+ list
+
+<P>
+</LI>
+<LI>Recipient filters - moderation rules based on the recipient of
+ the message
+
+<P>
+</LI>
+<LI>Spam filters - some regular expression based rules for header
+ matching
+</LI>
+</UL>
+
+<P>
+The sender, recipient, and spam filtering rules are part of the
+general list moderation features of Mailman. When a message is posted
+to the list, it is matched against a number of criteria, the outcome
+of which determines whether the message is reflected to the membership
+or not. In general, the outcome is one of four states:
+
+<P>
+
+<UL>
+<LI>Approved or Accepted - the message may be sent on to the
+ members of the mailing list.
+
+<P>
+</LI>
+<LI>Hold - the message will be held for moderator approval. The
+ list owners and moderators will then have to explicitly approve
+ the message before the list members will see it.
+
+<P>
+</LI>
+<LI>Reject - the message is bounced back to the original sender,
+ often with a notice containing the reason the message was
+ rejected. The list members never see rejected messages.
+
+<P>
+</LI>
+<LI>Discard - the message is simply thrown away without further
+ processing.
+</LI>
+</UL>
+
+<P>
+Many of the fields in this section are text boxes accepting addresses,
+one per line. Unless otherwise noted, these also accept regular
+expressions which will be matched against an address, if the line
+begins with a (caret) character.
