[clug-talk] Mailing List

[Neil Bower]

Only messages from non-registered emails get held for moderation. So unless 
you are sending messages to the list from an unregistered e-mail address, 
then your message should get through.  

As far as email getting through to the mailing list daemon, is our hosting 
provider screening emails for spam (and using an RBL) that are destined to 
the mailing lists addresses or is anyone with a registered email address to 
the mailing list already whitelisted?

What was the actual problem found?
