E-lists at Cornell: Moderating Messages (Web Interface)

E-lists at Cornell

Moderating Messages with E-mail Commands (Lyris)

Any list administrator can configure an e-list to automatically distribute submitted messages to the list, or hold messages until an administrator has reviewed them. (See our List Configuration page for details.)

If you've enabled list moderation, with each message you have the option of

approving it
rejecting (deleting) it
deleting it and providing feedback to the person who submitted it

If you want to edit a message or send feedback to the submitter, you'll need to use the web interface. If you want to approve (as is) or reject a message, you cen either use the web interface or send your decision to Lyris via e-mail commands. This page covers the e-mail commands option.

You can also approve or reject messages using the Lyris web interface.

We recommend using the web interface for these tasks.

When a message is submitted to a moderated e-list, the list members selected to moderate messages (typically all or some of the list administrators, but any list member can have this feature enabled) will receive a message like the one below:

If you scroll further down in the message Lyris sends you (like the one pictured above), you'll see it also tells you about other messages that still need your attention as moderator. Frankly the text gets pretty confusing, so we're recommending that you use the web interface for moderation tasks. It'll make your life simpler. Just a suggestion.
