with is to moderate

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.
