Summary: privacy issue with subscribers on deferred status
Initial Comment:
I own a mailman listserver which is hosted on
Dreamhost and they are currently running ver. 2.1.5 of
mailman.
My list is set to require approval of membership
requests, which sends the requesters into a "deferred"
status in the "Tend to Pending Moderator Requests"
area.
I've discovered recently that individuals on "Deferred"
status CAN in fact post to my list, and their postings are
seen by all approved members. The individuals
on "Deferred" status do not receive the postings
themselves, however.
Is this right? Shouldn't an individual who is
marked "Deferred" not be able to post until being
approved? This prevents me from ever stopping
individuals who would send malicious posts to my list
from allowing them to do so.
My list is a high volume list and increasing the level of
moderation would be cumbersome.
Is there a way to ensure that members can't post to a
list until they are approved, or is this problem an actual
bug in the software?
Thanks.

People waiting to be approved are not members, so the
non-member posting policy is what applies to them. They
become members only when approved. Perhaps you are not
holding non-member posting for approval?
