[LargeFormat] Admin Problems Posting Your Messages to the List?

A quick update for your if you have been trying to post a message to the 
list and find that it has been held in an admin. queue for moderation.

The list now receives over 250 spam messages a day. There is filtering to 
ensure that the posts do not reach the list but overheads of handling the 
admin associated with these messages means that members' posts that are 
held are not being moderated.

The situation will improve in the future - there are two options. Wait for 
an imminent upgrade of the mailing list application (favorite) or write 
code for three or four hours to hack around the problem (if someone wants 
to pay me).

In the meantime, if you are trying to post a message to the list and you 
receive a message saying that your message has been held for moderation as 
it has suspicious headers, then the most likely reason is that you have 
either sent a message containing HTML (not allowed on the list) or that you 
have included an attachment (also not allowed) which could be a sig. file 
or that MS nugget, the "business card".

Hope this helps if you have been waiting for your held message to appear.

Cheers,
