Overview

If you have been designated as the moderator of an email group, you will receive a notice of a "Message pending" each time an email is sent to the group.

The email will contain a link that says "approve or reject". This link will take you to the screen shown below,  where you can select a moderation action.

Approve or deny pending posts

You can approve or deny posts before they appear to the group. If posts aren't approved within 7 days, they'll be deleted.

1. To read a post, click the title.
2. Check the box next to the post.
3. At the top of the screen, select an option (buttons shown in context below):
   • To approve the message, click Post .
   • To approve the post and automatically approve all future posts by that author, click Trust .
   • To ban the author or authors from the forum and report the message as spam, click Spam .
