I've asked the wrong question. The correct question is that my MM2 imported mailing list, shows the setting "Default action to take when a member posts to the list" is set to "Hold for moderation".
That is expected because your MM 2.1 list had member_moderation_action = Hold.
However, when I add a user via Mass Subscription, and view the user in the member's list, it states "None" in the moderation column for him. Doesn't that imply, not to hold for moderation? Or am I wrong?
No. That means apply the list's default.
Note that when I look at the user's "Administration options Moderation" personal setting, it is set to "List Default." I assume that because the List's setting in the above first paragraph is "Hold for moderation", that this means the "List Default" is set for moderating. And that newly added email addresses should be moderated. Or am I wrong?
Newly added users get their moderation action set to None. This means the same thing as the List Default you see as an admin looking at the user. If you set the user to something other than List Default and then set it back to List Default, the actual value set for the member's moderation_action is None. I.e., List Default is a more admin friendly way of displaying/setting None for the value.
Presumably, your MM 2.1 list had default_member_moderation = Yes and member_moderation_action = Hold and this mimics that behavior.
