The summary page contains pending subscription and +unsubscription requests, as well as postings being held for your +approval, grouped by sender email address. The details page contains +a more detailed view of each held message, including the all the +message's headers and an excerpt of the message body. + +<p>On all the pages, the following actions are available: + +<ul> +<li><b>Defer</b> -- Defer your decision until later. No action is + taken now for this pending administrative request, but for held + postings, you can still forward or preserve the message (see + below). + +<p><li><b>Approve</b> -- Approve the message, sending it on to the list. + For membership requests, approve the change in membership status. + +<p><li><b>Reject</b> -- Reject the message, sending a rejection notice to + the sender, and discarding the original message. For membership + requests, reject the change in membership status. In either case, + you should add a reason for the rejection in the accompanying text + box. + +<p><li><b>Discard</b> -- Throw away the original message, without sending + a rejection notice. For membership requests, this simply discards + the request without notice to the person making the request. This + is usually the action you want to take for known spam. +</ul> + +<p>For held messages, turn on the <b>Preserve</b> option if you want +to save a copy of the message for the site administrator. This is +useful for abusive messages that you want to discard, but need to keep +a record of for later inspection. + +<p>Turn on the <b>Forward to</b> option, and fill in the forwarding +address if you want to forward the message to someone else not on the +list. To edit a held message before it is sent on to the list, you +should forward the message to yourself (or the list owners), and +discard the original message. Then, when the message shows up in your +mailbox, make your edits and resend the message to the list, including +an <tt>Approved:</tt> header with the list password as its value. It +is proper netiquette in this case to include a note in the resent +message, explaining that you have modified the text. + +<p>If the sender is a list member who is being moderated, you can +optionally clear their moderation flag. This is useful when your list +is configured to put new members on probation, and you've decided that +this member can be trusted to post to the list without approval. + +<p>If the sender is not a list member, you can add the email address to +a <em>sender filter</em>. Sender filters are described on the <a +href="%(filterurl)s">sender filter privacy page</a>, and may be one of +<b>auto-accept</b> (Accepts), <b>auto-hold</b> (Holds), +<b>auto-reject</b> (Rejects), or <b>auto-discard</b> (Discards). This +option will not be available if the address is already on one of the +sender filters. + +<p>When you're finished, click on the <em>Submit All Data</em> button +at the top or bottom of the page. This button will submit all +selected actions for all administrative requests that you've made a +decision for. + +<p><a href="%(summaryurl)s">Return to the summary page</a>. |
