Spam: Prevent from sending to your Mailing List.
A common problem is user email accounts being hacked. When this happens, spam and/or links to viruses are sent to everyone in their address book.......including your Mailing List.
One solution is to check all emails for "spamminess". When spam is found, we send it back to the Subscriber for approval. If they reply to this self moderation email, their message will be released to the Mailing List.
This self moderation option allows your Subscribers to override the spam filter when it is mistaken.
