By + turning this flag off by default, postings by members will be + allowed without further intervention (barring other restrictions + such as size or implicit recipient lists - see below). By + turning the flag on, you can quarantine new member postings to + make sure that they meet your criteria for netiquette, topicality, + etc. Once you determine that the new member understands the + community's posting rules, you can turn off their moderation flag + and let their postings go through unstopped. + +<P> +E-newsletter style lists can also be set up by using the + moderation flag. By setting the <code>member_moderation_action</code> + to <i>Reject</i>, and by turning off the moderation flag for just + the few approved senders, your list will operate in essentially a + one-way direction.
