The usual mechanism is * newbie sends question * newbie gets response indicating that message is being held for moderator approval because he's not subscribed * newbie subscribes and reposts question, which people answer * eventually, list moderator cleans out the queue and approves the original question It's not really a duplicate, but it looks like one. This could be fixed if someone wanted to improve the moderation software to auto-approve pending messages from someone who's just subscribed, but perhaps that's a lot of work. I haven't looked at that code, so I'm not volunteering ... regards, tom lane
