Finally!! A reply from Yahoo!
This makes sense, so I guess that I'll stop worrying about it. If
people want to join but don't follow the instructions there's nothing
that I can do about it (except point it out to them).
Thanks everyone for your assistance.

==================Begin Message From Yahoo ==================
Hello Alvin,
Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Groups.
We appreciate your patience, Alvin.
I have heard back from our engineers regarding your concerns about
potential members who have requested to join the group via email not
showing in the pending members section. Members who request to join via
email are sent a confirmation email asking them to confirm. Once this
email is returned, they will show up in pending. If they do not respond
to the confirmation, they will not show in pending.
I hope this has addressed your concerns. Please contact us again if you
have any further questions or concerns.
Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Groups.
Regards,
Gidget

Part 1
Is anyone else a YahooGroups moderator in a group where the
moderator must approve each applicant?
If so, have you had this [see below] problem, where the email
request for membership is received by yahoo, but is not transferred
to the "Pending" page, where a moderator can deal with it?
Have you complained?
What happened?
I have this problem over and over, and prospective members are
angry, since they apply and are not approved.
Have you found some other way to get around the problem?
FAQ: Why do you want to approve each membership application?
Ans: The Group is for our neighborhood only, and we disapprove any
applicant outside of our boundaries.

Part 2
Is AOL any better?
Is there a way to transition to AOL and not need to have all the
members reapply?
Thanks,
Alvin
