Can we change the moderation email to say "Thank you for your submission, we will get back to you shortly"? Otherwise, I would suggest that we not moderate email posted to the list, while retaining moderated membership and private archives.

We would run the risk of receiving spam through the list, but in conjunction with the planned spam filtering which Kevin proposed to put in place, and which Karsten will set him up to do, that might not be a problem for long. Cheers, Dave.
