Is there any way to set up a list so that every message to the list, whether from members or non-members, has to be approved by the moderator prior to being sent out to the list? I thought I had this working with my list but right now when someone sends a message to the list it just seems to disappear. The admins get no notice that there is a message waiting for approval, and nothing shows up in the queue to be approved.

Turn on default moderation when creating the list. You may also need to go through and set everyone's moderate bit, if they're already subscribed to the list.
If this isn't working for you, take a look at http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.014.htp.

It seems you may have set member_moderation_action to Discard instead of Hold.

I checked this and the member_moderation_action is set to Hold. All new subscribers are automatically set to be moderated. When I send a test message to the list absolutely nothing happens. Nothing shows up in the moderator's queue to be approved, no notifications go out that a post is awaiting approval. Nothing.
The really odd thing is that when I first set this list up it was working fine. Subscribers would post to the list, a notification would be sent to the admin that there was a post to be approved, etc. At some point a month or so ago, it just quit working. I have checked and rechecked the settings, but can't find anything.

Check article 3.14 in the FAQ
Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py
Do you have other lists that are working. If not, your qrunners may have stopped.
