<p>The administrative requests are displayed in one of two ways, on a
<a href="%(summaryurl)s">summary page</a>, and on a <em>details</em>
page.  The summary page contains pending subscription and
unsubscription requests, as well as postings being held for your
approval, grouped by sender email address.  The details page contains
a more detailed view of each held message, including the all the
message's headers and an excerpt of the message body.</p>

<p>On all the pages, the following actions are available:</p>

<ul> 

	<li><strong>Defer</strong> -- Defer your decision until later.
	No action is taken now for this pending administrative
	request, but for held postings, you can still forward or
	preserve the message (see below).</li>

	<li><strong>Approve</strong> -- Approve the message, sending
	it on to the list.  For membership requests, approve the
	change in membership status.</li>

	<li><strong>Reject</strong> -- Reject the message, sending a
	rejection notice to the sender, and discarding the original
	message.  For membership requests, reject the change in
	membership status.  In either case, you should add a reason
	for the rejection in the accompanying text box.</li>

	<li><strong>Discard</strong> -- Throw away the original
	message, without sending a rejection notice.  For membership
	requests, this simply discards the request without notice to
	the person making the request.  This is usually the action you
	want to take for known spam. </li>

</ul>

<p>For held messages, turn on the <strong>Preserve</strong> option if
you want to save a copy of the message for the site administrator.
This is useful for abusive messages that you want to discard, but need
to keep a record of for later inspection.</p>

<p>Turn on the <strong>Forward to</strong> option, and fill in the
forwarding address if you want to forward the message to someone else
not on the list.  To edit a held message before it is sent on to the
list, you should forward the message to yourself (or the list owners),
and discard the original message.  Then, when the message shows up in
your mailbox, make your edits and resend the message to the list,
including an <tt>Approved:</tt> header with the list password as its
value.  It is proper netiquette in this case to include a note in the
resent message, explaining that you have modified the text.</p>

<p>If the sender is a list member who is being moderated, you can
optionally clear their moderation flag.  This is useful when your list
is configured to put new members on probation, and you've decided that
this member can be trusted to post to the list without approval.</p>

<p>If the sender is not a list member, you can add the email address
to a <em>sender filter</em>.  Sender filters are described on the <a
href="%(filterurl)s">sender filter privacy page</a>, and may be one of
<strong>auto-accept</strong> (Accepts), <strong>auto-hold</strong>
(Holds), <strong>auto-reject</strong> (Rejects), or
<strong>auto-discard</strong> (Discards).  This option will not be
available if the address is already on one of the sender filters.</p>

<p>When you're finished, click on the <em>Submit All Data</em> button
at the top or bottom of the page.  This button will submit all
selected actions for all administrative requests that you've made a
decision for.</p>
