That's how it's designed to work. Emergency moderation is designed to be used to moderate all traffic in emergencies such as to quell flame wars. It is not intended to be used routinely to moderate all posts. Thus, when emergency moderation is on, posts which are not held for some other reason are held for emergency moderation and the owner/moderator is not notified even if admin_immed_notify is yes. >Turning off "Emergency Moderate" restored behavior to normal, and I now >receive immediate notification of held posts. Unless there is an Apple mod in the order of the pipeline, you should have received notices of posts held for other than emergency moderation anyway. The only held posts that you would not receive notice for are those specifically held for emergency moderation. >All other lists work fine with respect to moderated / held messages, none of >them have 'Emergency Moderate' on. > >I am trying to understand this behavior and was curious if anyone had any >thoughts. If you want to routinely hold all posts, the way to do that is to set all member's 'mod' flags on and set new members moderated by default. Under normal circumstannces, emergency moderation should be off. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
