Hi.  That's the definition of a closed list.  If the list was moderated it
would mean that one or more designated people must authorised all posts
before they can go to the list.  Lists can be moderated but open, or
unmoderated & closed (as is the norm today) or any other combination.

Unless I've slipped into a parrellel universe, this list is not moderated.

As for mailman, yes I agree.  Alot more manageable from a user & admin
perspective.  I'm a sysadmin for Humbug (http://www.humbug.org.au) and
we're migrating to mailman, urged along by our moderators (some Humbug
lists _are_ moderated, and they are all closed).
