To the list owner.
I always manage my lists in paranoid mode. Every newcomer must post at least one message under Moderation before they are able to post direct to the list. I don't trust Spam detection especially with the new breeds of spammers creating all sorts of weird and wonderful combinations to try to slip past detector algorithms.
It's up to you but I certainly don't want to see advertinsing appearing amidst the informative posts that are the norm for this list...
Cheers,
Ian

Er, this one is actually running a bit more paranoid; I'm approving on a post-by-post basis. So I'm quite confused as to how yesterday's message got through; I probably just screwed up with the mailman web interface while doing things in a rush.
Thanks for your mail though, since I didn't actually see the message in question - it was caught by my own filters...
