This section +contains the modeation controls for postings from both members and +non-members. + +<p> +<dl> +<dt><strong>default_member_moderation</strong></dt> +<dd>Member postings are held for moderation if their <em>moderation + flag</em> is turned on. Note that only the list administrators can + change the value of a member's moderation flag. + +<p> +You can control whether new members get their moderation flag + turned on or off by default when they subscribe to the list. 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 <em>Reject</em>, and by turning off the moderation flag for just + the few approved senders, your list will operate in essentially a + one-way direction. Note that you'd also need to reject or discard + postings from non-members. + +<p> +</dd> +<dt><strong>member_moderation_action</strong></dt> +<dd>This is the action to take for postings from a member who's + moderation flag is set. For typical discussion lists, you'll + likely set this to <em>Hold</em> so that the list moderator will get + a chance to manually approve, reject, or discard the message. For + e-newsletter and announcement lists, you might want to set this to + <em>Reject</em> or <em>Discard</em>. + +<p> +Note that when a moderated member posts to your list, and the + <code>member_moderation_action</code> is set to <em>Hold</em>, the message + will appear on the administrative requests page. When you dispose + of the message, you will be given an opportunity to clear the + moderation flag at the same time. If you're quarantining new + posts, this makes it very convenient to both approve a new + member's post and de-moderate them at the same time. + +<p> +</dd> +<dt><strong>member_moderation_notice</strong></dt> +<dd>When a member's moderation flag is turned on and + <code>member_moderation_action</code> is <em>Reject</em>, this variable + contains the text sent in the rejection notice. +</dd> +</dl> + +<p> +The next group of settings control messages whose <span class="mailheader">From:</span> +domain publishes a DMARC <code>p=reject</code> or <code>p=quarantine</code> policy. + +<p> +<dl> +<dt><strong>dmarc_moderation_action</strong></dt> +<dd>These actions, <em>Accept</em>, <em>Munge From</em>, <em>Wrap Message</em>, + <em>Reject</em> and <em>Discard</em> apply only to messages whose + <span class="mailheader">From:</span> domain publishes a DMARC <code>p=reject</code> or optionally + (see the next setting) <code>p=quarantine</code> policy.
