Approving Discussion Group Messages

You may choose to approve the messages of some or all of your subscribers, before they are sent to everybody on your list.

Their email message will come to you wrapped in a special manner that allows you to simply Reply to that email message to approve the message. To read the message, double click on the miniature mailbox inside of the message.

In addition to the APPROVE command, you have 5 other commands to help control your list.

APPROVE - The post will be approved and sent to the list.

 

DISCARD - The post will be ignored, without even a courtesy return.

 

COMMENT - The post will be approved, and your message text is added as a Moderator's comment at the bottom.

 

INTRO - The post will be approved, and your message text is added at the top, followed by two blank lines.

 

REJECT - The post will be discarded, and your message text is added as a Moderator's explanation for the rejection. This email is then forwarded to the sender.

 

UNSUB - Discards the post, and processes a "unsubscribe" request on behalf of the user.

 

 

Ignoring the APPROVE COMMAND email will result in no action being taken until the message gets to be 30 days old, upon which time the original message will be deleted.
