Question or Symptom

I'm the list owner and I received a message that a post has bounced due to the list being moderated. What do I do to get it posted to the list?

Resolution

You'll need to add two lines to the top of the message and resend it to your list address. The two lines are:

Approved: your-list-password
 

followed by a blank line. It is important that the Approved: line is the first line in your new message, and that you have a blank line following the Approved line.

You can forward the message, or resend it (if your email client has that option) You'll want to change the subject of the forwarded message to something other than Bounced....etc. If you resend the message it will appear to come from you, so you may want to include the actual author's email address in the message.
