See below. > >What I'm getting is: > >Announcement: >Poster => List > >Reply: >Member => Poster >Admin message => Moderator If you set member_moderation_action to Reject or Discard, you won't get a held message or notice to the moderator. If you set first_strip_reply_to to Yes, reply_goes_to_list to Explicit address and reply_to_address as desired, you can get most replies to go to reply_to_address. This won't be the poster in all cases, but may be acceptable. If you rely on users to just "reply", either reply_goes_to_list = Poster or reply_goes_to_list = Explicit address will be fine. The problem comes when they "reply all" because that will include the list. >New message: >Member => Held for moderation >Admin message => Moderator There is no way to send this message to a specific person.
