Correct.
I've looked through the archives of this list, and from what I can tell:
According to https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message/...
None does not mean no moderation. None means use the list default as opposed to one of the specific actions defined
The thread at https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/U... seems to also repeat the above, that
nonemeans the configured setting for the list.However, I've just done a test of a newly added user (a test email account for me), seen that the Moderation Action is
None, but when I posted to the list from the address, it was not held for moderation, and went through.Am I missing something with the expected functionality?
A member's moderation action of None means use the Default action to take when a member posts to the list. Is that set to Hold for moderation?
Actually, it is good practice to set that to Hold for moderation for
all lists or at least all those that don't require moderator approval
for subscription to prevent a spammer from subscribing and spamming the
list. Then, upon approving a member's post you can also set the member's
moderation action to default processing and upon discarding a spammers
post, you can also set the spammer's moderation action to Discard.
