The biggest issue so far is the moderation. Our old list simply
bounced
posts from addresses that are not subscribed, and it worked
extremely
well. Current setup sends those emails to me and Bill for moderation
(approval or rejection). Of course all of those messages are spam. I
received 96 moderation spams since March 28. So the moderation
has to
be replaced with bounces.
You don't have to respond at all to reject a post -- just ignore those
moderation requests (I delete them). After a week they'll time out and
automatically be rejected.
Just respond to the ones you want approved. That saves time.

Hi Jean,
Thanks for the links on infra participation in your other message.
I know that I don't have to reply to moderation messages... But the
same thing is often said about spam in general - "just hit delete" -
a solution I personally can't live with. Besides moderation spam is
worse than general spam, as I have to inspect all moderation messages
(moderation is enabled, I am a moderator, so I can't ignore my
duties :-)).
At the same time changing moderation to bouncing solves the problem
once and for all.
