This should definitely be configurable, if implemented. I don't have any lists that would benefit by this... in fact, this is not desirable on any of my lists.

Although I have not implemented it yet, Mailman 2.2 will definitely get auto-moderation. IOW, should a non-member send a message to a mailing list, and if that mailing list is so configured, Mailman
will hold the message and send a message to the From address asking for verification of the post. I'm assuming this is what you mean by "auto-moderation".I'm confused. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're talking about, Mailman 2.1.x already does this today. You try to post to a list that is restricted to subscribers only, and then your message may be rejected, or you may get a message saying that the post is being held for moderation, or it may get silently thrown away, etc.... It all depends on how the listowner has configured things, but to this level, this kind of thing works today.
Today, held messages still have to be approved by the moderator.
What I propose is to allow posters to self-moderate, simply by
verifying that their address is real. This probably means a
clickable link and (maybe) a header cookie for replying. Think
Gmane's auto-moderation approach.
