Instead of causing grief to subscribers of other lists who try to post
here, why don't you change the behaviour of this, so that the post
gets bounced to you initially, without sending the "You are not
subscribed.." message. If you approve the post, don't send any
warning message, and if you reject the message, then send the "You are
not subscribed" message. 

Since you anyway get bounces of mail from non-subscribers, I don't
think this will increase your work. Is there any bug (!) in this
system? Or will it be difficult to implement?

The nice thing about Windows is - It does not just crash, it displays a
