Darin, Whenever you use the web interface to add or remove someone from a list, IMail resets the moderator email address to the default. The default is <owner-account>@<server domain>. Any moderator you may have set up is thus removed. (Note that the server domain is the full domain, so if your server is mail.foo.com, even if the moderator was [EMAIL PROTECTED], it will be reset to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
Using IMail administrator there are two settings, one for the IMail user account that can control the mailing list through the web interface, and a second setting that is the full email address of the moderator who can post to the list. The web interface however, only lets you specify an IMail user account, and then sets the moderator to be this account '@<server domain>'. Worse, as I mentioned, it resets this whenever you make changes using the web interface (such as subscribing someone). Other important security settings, like list passwords, also can't be handled by the web interface. On this note, I suggest you try adding your moderator to the 'Posters list' on the security setting tab of the list set-up within IMail Administrator. This might be safe from this web interface 'feature'.
