Would it be possible to have the person making the submission self-approve the posting to the list (rather than the moderator)?

Sorry, I'm not familiar with major domo, but here is what I am thinking:
1. Members would post directly to the list.
2. In the event that the posting comes from a non-member, the user that made the post would be sent an e-mail telling them that their authorization is required to allow the posting to be forwarded to the rest of the list.
3. The user would then provide the actual approval to post.

If possible, the user might also be told that HTML should not be used in the submission, etc.

I am guessing that this type of verification would catch most of the spam? Anyone have any ideas on how difficult this might be to accomplish or reasons that this might not work?

The spam to post ratio on this list seems to have gotten a lot worse lately. Perhaps it's time to to consider limiting posters to subscribers. Discussion?

Thanks,
