Responsed to moderation

[Torrens (lists)]

Is is possible to make MLMMJ send an ack to any email referred for
moderation?

Ideally I would like to tell the sender why the email has been held - but
I expect that's not easy.

ATM, if the sender has broken rules, it's not at all simple to send them
an email pointing this out.

The lists I run don't get a lot of spam, so responding to that is not a
problem.

No, there is currently no support for notifying a sender about the fact
that his mail is awaiting moderation.

Such a notification is sent if a person tries to subscribe to a list
with subscription moderation, and something similar would be useful for
regular moderation as well. If you could make a patch, I will be happy
to include it in mlmmj.

If that is to be added, then a tunable should enable/disable it, and it
should be disabled by default.

I know this is quite obvious, but better be safe than sorry. I am
already seeing the danger of backscraters sending to moderated lists
with that option... I would NEVER enable this. This is a way too
dangerous to me.

Yes, definitely disabled by default.

I wouldn't use it either, but I don't mind having the option.
