Moderate a List in the TU Email List Service

If an Email List Service list requires moderation, owners are responsible for approving posts. If owners wish to designate others to moderate posts, they must add moderators to the list. In this case, owners must also add themselves to the list of Moderators if they wish to have the same ability to moderate.

Moderating Messages

Moderators can approve or reject messages flagged for moderation using the TU Email List Service web interface as described here:

  1. Open the TU Email List Service website in your browser.
  2. Log in with your TU Email Address and Password.
  3. Note the lists of which you are a subscriber, an owner and/or a moderator in the Manage Your Subscriptions section. The Admin button beside a list indicates that you have owner and/or moderation privileges.
  4. Select the Admin button to open that list’s information and management page.
  5. Select Message to display the moderation queue.
  6. Select the message subject of any message in the queue to view the message before making a decision.
  7. Select one or more messages, and then select one of the moderation action buttons to perform an action on the selected messages:
    • Distribute – immediately distribute the moderated message to the list.
    • Reject – immediately reject the message. This does not notify the original sender.
    • Notified Reject – immediately reject the message and inform the original sender that the message was rejected.
    • Reject and blacklist sender – immediately reject the message and blacklist the sender. No further messages from the blacklisted email address will reach the list (or the moderation queue).
    • Edit Blacklist – this button does not perform any moderation actions; it is simply another link to the blacklist management page for the list.
