Kavi Mailing List Manager Help
Table of Contents
Use the View/Moderate Pending Message tool when you want to view a message that has been sent to the moderation queue, approve or reject the message, or permanently place the sender on the Allow or Deny Subscriber List. To moderate a message, set the action to 'Accept this message' or 'Delete this message'. Accepted messages are immediately posted to the mailing list. Deleted messages are deleted from the moderation queue. If all you want to do is view the message without taking action, leave this set to the default 'Skip this message'.
You can place the sender on the Allow Subscriber List so that future posts from this sender bypass the moderation queue and are posted directly to the mailing list by setting the second action field to 'and add this sender to the allow list'. Conversely, you can set the second action field to 'and add this sender to the deny list' if you want the mailing list to automatically reject messages from this sender in the future. This field isn't displayed if this is a moderated mailing list and the sender is a moderator. If you decide to revoke or reinstate posting privileges in the future, you can use the Edit Mailing List Subscribers tool.
Note
When moderating messages via email, rejected messages are packaged into rejection notices by ezmlm and returned to the sender. When moderating messages through this tool, messages are deleted rather than rejected. Deleted messages are simply removed from the moderation queue without notifying the sender.
View the contents of a message in the moderation queue and skip it if you wish to take no action on it at this time.

Permanently add the sender's address to the Allow or Deny lists or leave things as they are and continue moderating this sender.

To delete a message that shouldn't be sent to the mailing list, select 'Delete this message'.
You can place the sender on the Allow Subscriber List so that future posts from this sender bypass the moderation queue and are posted directly to the mailing list by setting the second action field to 'and add this sender to the allow list'.
