Configure Moderation in Simplelists

This article applies to: E-lists (Simplelists)

Moderation in Simplelists is different from Lyris.

  • Simplelists' moderation options are more complex than Lyris'
  • Simplelists does not have per-member moderation bypass
  • Simplelists does not have number moderation

To configure moderation:

  1. Log in to Simplelists
  2. Select an e-list to manage
  3. Select manage lists from the menu on the left
  4. Select Settings on the desired list to open List Settings.
  5. Select the Posting restrictions tab
  6. Scroll down to the Message rejections dropdown
We recommend you choose between (and stick to) one of the following two options. 
Option: Unmoderated (Lyris style) - you probably want this
  • Reject all messages that are not allowed with posting permissions
    • this allows all postings that are permitted to go through without human moderation
    • and rejects all other messages
Option: Moderated (Lyris style) - migrated e-lists are initially set to this for safety
  • Hold all messages for approval, reject those that are not from a sender that is allowed to post
    • this holds for moderation all postings that are permitted 
    • and rejects all other messages
  1. Click Update if you make any changes
