Approve/Reject/Annotate messages before they are sent to the Mailing List.
This feature allows you to control which messages are sent immediately.
- Most Mailing Lists allow all incoming messages to be sent immediately to their List.
- Some Mailing Lists approve every message to their List.
In our experience, List Owners only use this option if things get "out of control".
