Well, what we do on several other mailing lists I
deal with is to moderate
non-subscribers only -- their emails are redirected to the moderator(s)
and are sent to the list when the approval message is sent back to the
server.
Dang it, I was NOT proposing moderation! I was proposing just what you
explain here, which is to "moderate" NON-subscribers only. The web based
idea could work, and it would be simple to give the user a
url in the notice email explaining the moderated status for
non-subscribers. The problem I see is that some spammers that get the
moderated notice will then send a message to the list via the web based
access.
I don't think any spammer would waste his time actually reading bounced
messages.
