New mailing list moderation in cPanel ?
I just made a new mailing list. "Moderation" of posts seems to be set as the "default", but I am pretty sure that I didn't set that up anywhere. The member list doesn't show the moderation flag ticked.
In the Privacy options I have "By default, should new list member postings be moderated? " set to "No".
I am obviously missing something obvious. Would someone here please direct me to where member moderation is set/un set in cPanel please ?
Thanks.
Regards, John.

What is the exact reason for the held post(s)?

"Post by non-member to a members-only list"
I hadn't expected that message as I was sure that the person who posted was already a member.
Looks like she was a bit fast in posting. Things seem okay now. Thank you for your help. :-)

The person may have been, but she may have been posting from a different address.

That's the most likely reason, I guess. But for future reference, remember that Mailman 2 has no notion of "member", only "subscribed address". Mailman 3 will surely have some way for members to specify alternative addresses.
And possibly, some way to guess certain variants. Eg, if "turnbull@sk.domain.tld" is subscribed, then "turnbull@shako.sk.domain.tld" probably is the same person. But Mailman 2 doesn't have it.
I chose that example (real but obfuscated) for a reason. Specifically, the second variant is today used only by spammers; I haven't sent a message with that "From" since 1995, and I doubt it's been used as "Sender" more than a very small handful of times since 2000. So this would have to be an aid to moderators/list owners, not something one automates.
