Hello everyone,
I’m loving Mailman3 so far! Great work on it.
I’d like to have new members who join my lists have their posting ability set to moderated. (After their first legitimate post, they would set to be unmoderated.) I haven’t been able to find this, though I’m suspecting the language has changed.
Thanks, Seth

In Postorius set Settings -> Message Acceptance -> "Default action to take when a member posts to the list" to Hold for moderation.
This is the action which will be taken for a post from a member whose individual Moderation is List Default as it is for all new members.
Then when a post from that member is held, if you click the subject in the held messages view, a dialog opens showing the message content with Accept, Reject and Discard buttons and a dropdown list you can use to set that member's Moderation to Default processing.
Default processing is generally what you want as it bypasses the moderation hold but still applies other tests such as header filters, administrivia, implicit-dest, max-recipients, max-size, etc.

So I've set my "Default action to take when a member posts to the list" to "hold". I'm just unclear on what I want to set each member's moderation action to... defer or accept? (I've been reading the docs, but I'm not clear on the difference.)

Generally, you want defer rather than accept. Accept will accept the message immediately after determining the message is from a member with that action, while defer will continue to process additional checks including 'administrivia', 'implicit-dest', 'max-recipients', 'max-size', 'no-subject' and 'suspicious-header'.
