All--

Sorry for the ridiculously simple question, but I'm pretty sure I don't quite 
understand how to prevent inadvertent postings; and we just managed to send a 
moderately embarrassing post.  

I want to use the Approved: <password> header in the message body to help with 
inadvertent postings as well as block most inappropriate posts. Will the 
following settings work?

1) Mailman 2.1.9 on Red Hat Linux.
2) All subscribers (including myself) have the moderation flag set ON.

3) My address is also listed as a List-Admin (which is appropriate)
4) Another user's address is listed as a List-Mod (which I think is appropriate)
5) This moderator's address happens to be in the accept_these_nonmembers list 
as well.

7) Other settings:
        default_member_moderation=YES
        member_moderation_action=HOLD
        generic_nonmember_action=HOLD


Test: SUCCESS!  If I send a post without any subject or body from my list-admin 
address, the post is held for moderation.

But, should I be clearing out the accept_these_nonmembers list as well?  Does 
receiving a post from an address in this list supercede/evade the moderation 
flag? Once correctly set, EVERYONE MUST use the Approved:<password> header, 
correct?
