I run a few lists, PyGreSQL for example, and I use moderation like this; Every person joining the list is moderated by default. The first time someone posts I get the email, decide if it is an abuser or spammer and, if not, I approve the posting and remove the moderation bit. If you are on one of my lists you basically never see spam but users are posting unimpeded. It's very little work for me as most people don't post anyway and I only have to deal with new posters once. Sometimes I implement that on an existing list. In that case I simply leave everyone unmoderated and only block new users. The assumption is that if you are already on the list you are probably not a spammer. --=20 D'Arcy J.M.
