Alvin - I run two lists on YahooGroups, one with about 700 subscribers.
What has worked for me is to NOT moderate subscriptions but instead to
moderate posts from all new members (I think that this lasts 6 months).
Moderating members lasts until the moderator changes the status of the
member to unmoderated. A moderator can change the status as soon as the
membership appears, or leave it in place for as long as they want.
I've never had any known problems with pending messages or memberships
showing up. If I did, I'd probably set the list the same way you have. As
long as it works the way it's supposed to, I think it's easier to weed out
spammers from the git-go.
