Hi:
Can you change the header "Approved: password" for the approval of moderated messages, and change it to another word?
For example, approve moderated messages with the word "OK" and without having to specify a password.
Thank you so much.
Regards.

You need to specify a password to prevent an unauthorized person from approving the post. In particular, the poster's notification that the message is held contains the confirmation token so if the value of the Approved: header is well known, the poster can approve her own post. You could apply this patch ```
to allow the list poster password to be used and then set that password
to `OK`.
