Okay, so would it be possible to completely block the mail-posting form and/or the script that takes the form data and passes it to the outbound server? By brute force (.htaccess or mangling the code) if there's no other way? I think most of us can live without being able to post to the MLs through the website. We really only want hyperkitty for the archiving features. Requiring moderator approval of first messages is second-best in terms of strategies, because it eats into the mods' time. E.
