OTOH, I'm sure one could come up with a sufficiently vague sentence along the lines of "new subscribers are held for moderation until we have build up enough trust that they won't abuse our list"'.
So people are prepared for initial moderation but there's no promise of being unmoderated after the *first* post.
Yes that is kind of what I was asking for. I have been on many mailing lists over the years and this is literally the first one I can recall in my memory -- maybe ever I don't know where it was moderated in that fashion(or even moderated at all).
The only moderation messages I can recall getting over the years has been the result of using the wrong from: address to post the message(I have about 30 different email addresses in my regular mail client to choose from in a drop down menu). Then I'm used to being able to click a link and discard the message I sent with the wrong from: address.
So as a semi regular mailing list user(and semi experienced mailman admin having used it for 20 years) those messages were not clear at all to me.
I can only imagine what less experienced people would think when they hit that situation.
Not a critical situation just a confusing one. If I had more experience perhaps with dealing with mailing lists with this type of moderation configured it probably wouldn't take a second thought to understand what is going on, but I don't have that experience.
